"Mind Your Business!"
Matthew 14:13-20
Pastor Bryan Eckelmann
"You give them something to eat" - it's Jesus' command to ALL of his followers. Like his Disciples (or "ministers"), we have never been in the "miracle business" (trying to make something happen because of our own ingenuity, charisma or hard work -- instead, we are in the "distribution business" -- sharing what we've been given.
FREE JOURNALS! If you haven't already picked your Matthew journal up, they're available at the entrance to worship on Sunday. Make sure and ask an usher.
