  • On Sunday we looked together at the Feeding of the five thousand. Our desire was to look at this familiar passage with fresh eyes and consider how we can grow in our confidence that God is a God of supernatural provision.
  • Use the Questions and thoughts below to aid discussion in our groups from the teaching we received
  • Please note that is not about completing all the questions but stirring faith filled dialogue among the group.
