Description

This sermon explores the significance of the "Blessing Sunday," which occurs when a month has a fifth Sunday, and the corresponding reading of the miracle of feeding the multitude. The speaker focuses specifically on the Apostle Philip, noting that Jesus chose to test him by asking how to feed the crowd, a moment of doubt that links to Philip's later lack of faith in John 14 when he asked Jesus to "show us the Father." The central message is threefold: one must remember past experiences with God to build faith, always look to God rather than the problem, and find comfort in the fact that God deals with human weakness with love and understanding, as evidenced by Philip's eventual growth in faith and martyrdom.
