Mark 6:30-44 | Many within the Lutheran church have become familiar with t-shirts from Thrivent bearing the familiar slogan: “Live Generously.” Often, we are encouraged to volunteer our time, give of our resources, and live for the sake of others. But in the midst of already filled calendars and full lives, and when it seems as though it’s challenging to even think about “one more thing,” what does it mean to live generously as a follower of Jesus? As we look to the story of Jesus multiplying the fish and the loaves, join us as we witness the compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ, stirring him to respond in generosity, and leading us to see those around us through the eyes of compassion.
