God’s Math Multiplies | Multiply | October 11th, 2026

This Sunday is Week 3, and we’re looking at the second most popular miracle Jesus ever did: the feeding of thousands with five loaves of bread and two fish. This miracle shows up in all four Gospels. It is rich with meaning and with lessons for us as individuals and as a church family—lessons about dependency, sacrifice, and God’s math. The disciples almost missed what Jesus was doing. They actually would have missed it on their own, but Jesus kept pressing them with questions. And as a church, we can miss the miracle where, in the middle of our sacrifice, God can multiply. We’ll talk about the faith of the unnamed boy who gave up his lunch, his parents who had to trust that their son would walk in the will of God and not stop him, and how, when a lot of people want to be fed, it’s not a bad thing. It’s actually a cool opportunity for God to show off and supply more than enough to draw people to Himself. Because, church, even if we have little, it is always enough in the hands of Jesus. If you read this story and don’t dig deep, you’ll miss the bigger picture. You really need to understand the timeline and the entire chapter of John 6. Trust me, Jesus wasn’t just trying to fill bellies; He was trying to fill heaven. They wanted Jesus to be king, and He would be their King, but not their physical one. We all want Jesus for personal gain at times. Every one of us is sitting in someone’s sacrifice. And for a lot of us, it’s just our turn. It’s your turn to go, serve, or give. What stories of faith will you tell your kids and grandkids? Not for fame or to be remembered, but to tell them how you gave Jesus what you had and how He multiplied it more than you could ever imagine.
