Yeshua's Two Feeding Miracles: Provision for Israel and the Nations
When Yeshua multiplied loaves and fishes to feed thousands, He revealed something far greater than physical sustenance. These two distinct miracles demonstrate both the sufficiency of Yahweh's provision and the expansive reach of Mashiach's ministry.
The first feeding occurred in Jewish territory near Bethsaida, where 5,000 men received bread and fish, with twelve baskets remaining. This corresponds to the twelve tribes of Israel, showing Yahweh's abundant care for His covenant people. The second miracle took place in the Decapolis, Gentile territory, where 4,000 were fed with seven baskets left over. The number seven represents completeness, signifying that Yeshua's mission extends to all nations.
Both accounts follow an identical pattern: Yeshua takes what is offered, blesses it, breaks it, and distributes it through His disciples. This priestly function fulfills the promise that we would become a kingdom of priests, mediating Elohim's provision to the world.
The message resonates powerfully for us today: whatever we place in Yeshua's hands becomes sufficient. A boy's small lunch fed thousands. Our willingness to offer what we have, however modest, allows Yahweh to work miracles through us as members of Mashiach's body, extending His kingdom to every corner of creation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
