Bible Text: Mark 7:31-8:26 | Preacher: Toby Mak | Series: The Gospel of Mark | Lightning doesn’t strike twice. Or so they say. The disciples of Jesus experienced firsthand the jaw-draw-dropping, stomach-filling feeding of five thousand people. What could have been more exhilarating?

In chapter eight of the Gospel of Mark a second miraculous feeding happens, this time for about four thousand. The disciples’ interaction with Jesus and the subsequent sequence of events shows that even an event of this magnitude (x2) may not be enough to change their understanding, and ours, of who this Jesus really is.
