Timberline Church | Kaleidoscope: The Feeding of 5000 | Dick Foth and Aaron Hanson

In this powerful account from John 6, shared in a conversational, team-taught weekend by pastors Dick Foth and Aaron Hanson, the feeding of the 5,000 reveals not just what Jesus does, but who He is. Through thoughtful dialogue and storytelling, they unpack how Jesus tests His disciples—not to shame them, but to prepare them and shape their faith. While Philip sees impossibility and Andrew voices doubt, a young boy quietly offers what little he has, and in Jesus’ hands, scarcity becomes abundance.

This sign reminds us that faith isn’t about having something impressive to offer—it’s about bringing what we have, however small, and placing it in Jesus’ hands. Obedience precedes multiplication, and blessing flows from trust. As the crowd tries to define Jesus as merely a prophet or political king, we’re reminded that He already is King—Creator, Provider, Teacher, and Multiplier—and that He still invites us to trust Him with whatever we’re carrying, knowing He already has something in mind that He wants to do.
