In this week’s sermon titled “Giving Jesus a Little Bit,” Dr. Rob White draws on the familiar story from John 6:1-21, where Jesus miraculously feeds over 5,000 people with just five loaves and two fish. The central message of the sermon is that even small gifts, when given with devotion, can be blessed by Christ and multiplied to achieve great outcomes.
Dr. White opens by emphasizing that Christ can do extraordinary things with our small offerings. He reflects on how a young boy’s modest lunch became the foundation for a miraculous feeding of a vast crowd. This act of generosity serves as a metaphor for how we, too, can give what little we have—whether it be our time, talents, or resources—and trust that God will bless it.
Through relatable stories, such as the women’s group in a small church supporting the Heifer Project or local congregations helping the homeless, Dr. White demonstrates how these small acts of giving, though seemingly insignificant, make a significant impact when done with a heart for service. He shares how this kind of devotion can energize and grow those who give as well as those who receive, turning small contributions into life-changing blessings.
The sermon also recounts personal testimonies, such as the transformation of Jerry Sittser after hearing the gospel, which seemed inadequate at first but ultimately led to a profound life of ministry. These stories reflect how God’s power works through simple, humble actions, echoing the miraculous transformation of the loaves and fish.
Dr. White encourages the congregation to look for their “five loaves and two fish” moments, where they can offer small acts of generosity and kindness to others. He assures them that no offering is too small for Jesus to use for His grand purposes.
In closing, the message reminds us that Christ depends on us to give, no matter how little, and promises that our gifts, when blessed by Him, can create a lasting impact.
