Remember the story of the loaves and fishes?
In the book of John, we read about the thousands of people that had come to hear Jesus speak. They stayed for hours and hours to listen to every word Jesus had to say.
But the disciples started to realize that there was no food to feed the people.
Until one boy offered his own lunch - 5 small loaves and 2 small fish - to Jesus.
Jesus miraculously multiplied that small packed lunch, and fed thousands that day!
Yesterday, we had a visitor at the Pinewoods office.
Evan is 6 years old, and he wanted to help people.
He and his dad went grocery shopping and bought eggs, milk, ground beef, canned soup and bread and then delivered it all to us at Pinewoods, for Free Food Friday.
Evan also donated the money he had been saving, so that it could be used to help the families that need it.
Evan reminds me of that same boy, who brought what he had to Jesus. Just like that boy, Evan selflessly gave what he had to help others.
God has blessed you and I in so many amazing ways. And if you're anything like me, you're feeling challenged by Evan's offering.
What do we have that we need to offer in faith to Jesus today?
At Pinewoods, we want to offer you an opportunity to take the next step in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
Maybe that means getting serious about gathering with other Believers on a regular basis.
Maybe it means spending more time in prayer, or in reading the Bible.
Maybe it means moving forward with intentionally discipling someone in your life.
Maybe it means turning away from sinful choices in your life, and making the decision to follow Jesus for the first time.
Let us know what your next step is.
