Prof Dion Forster - Can I actually do anything to change the world?

Loading player...
John 6:1-14 - Can you actually do anything to change the world? Do you have enough agency, enough resources, enough ‘reach’ and ‘influence’? The story of the loaves and the fishes are an important lesson for us - God uses what we have to achieve God’s will, not what we cannot have or do not have. We are enough, as long as we are obedient, faithful, and generous.
