Nobody is Sent Away
For the session to be discussed on August 2, 2026
Matthew 14:13–21

The team explores Jesus feeding the multitude: the disciples see scarcity and want to send people away, but Jesus treats a small offering as a beginning and everyone eats with leftovers. We wrestle with whether the miracle is multiplication or shared generosity, and agree the “how” matters less than the mystery of God’s abundance. The conversation connects this to church, where community turns limited gifts—food, presence, comfort, hope, love, peace—into more than enough, challenging our instincts about deserving, hoarding, and scarcity.
