An Awesome Discovery!


"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?" Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish."
John 6:9 & 11


The crowd was gathered. They were tired, hungry and needed to eat. So the disciples suggest that Jesus send them home. But Jesus says something that seems odd, even impossible. He tells them to prepare for a meal. He plans on feeding the entire crowd with just five small loaves and two small fish!

Understandably, the disciples respond with doubt. The odds were stacked against them. But Jesus wasn't concerned with the odds. Instead, he overcame them.

There are times in our lives when the odds seem stacked against us. And it's during those times that our doubt can trump our understanding. The situation we are facing can seem insurmountable. But Jesus isn't concerned with the odds, because he can overcome any obstacle.

Whatever odds you are facing in your life, remember that through Jesus, anything is possible. Don't become frozen in your doubt. Instead, move forward in faith and discover all he can do in your life!
