Children's sermon
First Thoughts: This passage from John has a lot in it, and it is tempting for us to focus on the familiar and imagination-grabbing story at the beginning of it: the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. But on this Sunday I'd like to explore what happens a bit further on, in verse 15. It's an important action Jesus takes and gives us some idea of what it means for us too, in our lives of faith. When it becomes clear to Jesus that the people are overwhelmed by the miracle of the loaves and fishes, and they want to give him authority to rule them, he sneaks away as quickly as he can.
