  3. The Sweet Harmony of the Gospels -Find “Gospels, Harmony of” in the Bible Dictionary (684) -Find ‘Feeding the Five Thousand’ in the Harmony (689) -Have each group member look up one version of the feeding of the five thousand -Each group member will make a comprehensive list of the details that their particular gospel author tells about the feeding of the five thousand -Bring the four testimonies together to form a sweet harmony and discuss the following question: What is there that is instructive in the little details that add to this miracle and make it even more powerful to the reader when read in harmony?

  4. Walking on Water (Matthew 14:22-33) Peter sprang over the vessel’s side and into the troubled waves, and while his eyes were fixed upon the Lord, the wind might toss his hair and the spray might drench his robes, but all was well. Only when with wavering faith he removed his glance from the Master to look at the furious waves and the black gulf beneath him, only then did he begin to sink. It is my firm belief that if as individual people, as families, communities, and nations, we could, like Peter, fix our eyes on Jesus, we too might walk triumphantly over “the swelling waves of disbelief” and remain “unterrified amid the rising winds of doubt.” But if we turn away our eyes from him in whom we must believe, as it is so easy to do and the world is so much tempted to do, if we look to the power and fury of those terrible and destructive elements around us rather than to him who can help and save us, then we shall inevitably sink in a sea of conflict and sorrow and despair. At such times when we feel the floods are threatening to drown us and the deep is going to swallow up the tossed vessel of our faith, I pray we may always hear amid the storm and the darkness that sweet utterance of the Savior of the world: “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” (Matt. 14:27.) (Howard W. Hunter, “The Beacon in the Harbor of Peace,” Ensign, Nov 1992, 18)
