Speaker: Lud Kiramidjian Date: 3/12/22 Location: Orinda During Jesus Christ’s ministry on earth, two very similar --- but also very different --- miraculous feedings of multitudes are recorded in the Gospels. Each event involved using a small quantity of food to miraculously feed a large multitude of people in order to demonstrate God’s love and compassion for those people. The first miraculous feeding was of 5,000 men (plus women and children) who were religious Jews of Galilee awaiting the prophesied Messiah. The second miraculous feeding was of 4,000 men (plus women and children) who were non-Israelite Gentiles who came to be healed and taught. This message contrasts these two miraculous feedings in detail so as to glean profound lessons about God’s love and plans for all humanity. **PowerPoint for sermon is under the DOWNLOADS tab** Please Note: Additional messages given in the SF Bay Area congregation may be searched by date, presenter name &/or title at https://www.ucg.org/sermons/all?group=San%20Francisco%20Bay%20Area,%20CA
