Summary: Philip has an attitude of scarcity.Andrew has an attitude of possibility.The boy who shares his lunch has an attitude of generosity.Jesus - he has an attitude of trust in God's provision, and an attitude of abundance.Jesus takes what has already been given to us by God, the little we can offer, and gives thanks for it and offers it back to God - to do good things for the sake of others.How does Jesus feed the 5000? He simply does what God the Father has been doing every day since the beginning ...providing people's needs. When we trust that God provides for us, we can move from an attitude of scarcity to an attitude of abundance, from selfishness to generosity, from fear to faith.This sermon was preached at the Pakenham Lutheran church planting project on Sunday, July 26, 2015.
