Mustardseed Talks

When Jesus directed his disciples to feed the crowds by the water, he was not simply wanting to attend to their immediate need for a meal. He was offering them the opportunity to taste the richness of kingdom life. As the disciples and the people offered what they had and shared it freely among the group, a miracle of the kingdom occurred. Not only did everyone get fed… there was more than enough. Scholars still tussle over whether the miracle was the multiplication of the food or the unprecedented generosity of all present to share freely what they had - both would be miraculous in their own right. Either way… with Christ’s blessing: Resources + Generosity = Kingdom Abundance!
