Proper 13

Matthew 14.13-21

Context

From some of the parables of Jesus, we turn now to stories of his miracles – from words to action. In a sense though, these stories are like acted parables, in that they show us something of Jesus and who he is.

Common thread – People feeder (Matthew 14.13-21)

This week we look at a story which shows us Jesus as someone who is able to meet people’s needs, who can feed and sustain us. The story offers challenge and encouragement as we look at our own resources. 

These resources were first published in Issue 54 July/August 2011.
