28-July-24 (John 6:1-21)

What happens when the only that which people brought with them encounters the power of God? It becomes more than enough, if we read the scripture right.
What happens when what we bring, our financial resources, our talents, and our time encounters the power of God in our community? It becomes more than enough. People are fed, suffering is healed, people are brought together, people see the love of God in the work and the words of this congregation and the people we empower.
Once God blesses and works through what we bring, miracles happen.
Let's think about that as we take up our offering for today.

Prayer:

Please join me now in prayer.
God, you have chosen to work through us and what we bring -- what you have given us -- to share your love with the world. Bless these offerings, that they may be put to your purposes. Bless us as well, that when people see what you are doing through us, they will see your power and your mircles.
We pray in the name of Jesus, our Christ, AMEN.
