Included and Fed | August 2, 2026

In this Sunday's readings, we get a glimpse of God's kingdom looks like as Jesus miraculously provides food for a massive crowd. Everyone is included, and everyone is fed. As we heard in last week's parables (listen here), God takes a little, tiny, almost insignificant offering--just five loaves and two fishes for a crowd of thousands--and does something incredible with it. Today's Scripture readings are Isaiah 55:1-5; Psalm 145:8-9, 14-21; 2 Kings 4:42–44, and the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 in Matthew 14:13-21.
