Why Getting What You Want Won’t Fix Your Life

What if the thing you’ve been praying for isn’t actually what you need most? In Week 4 of our When Heaven Interrupts series, we explore one of Jesus’ most famous miracles—the feeding of the 5,000. At first glance, it’s a story about bread. But Jesus wasn’t just feeding hungry people. He was revealing who He is. The crowd wanted another miracle. They wanted another meal. But they completely missed the One standing in front of them. This message explores why we so often chase what we think will satisfy us, only to discover that our deepest need isn’t another blessing—it’s Jesus Himself.
