Song “God of miracles”
John 6:1-13
Mark 6:30-44
Phrase : Don’t Retired! Re-fire..!
A day in the life of disciples.
Busy life.
1. Opportunity for miracle
(instead of why)
Jesus said “What can WE do?”
2. Opportunity for a testimony (declare Jesus, an encouragement to others, faith)
“Faith is the currency of heaven”
Take a step of faith. We live in supernatural too...
Seek first his kingdom (inquire of the Lord Jesus, first thing to do)
“What’s in your hand?” Offering to the Lord.
Jesus said “Where can WE buy?”
Jesus says “You give them something to eat”
Time table - Feed ard God schedule.
Speak LIFE INTO THE SITUATION. Take responsible.
3. Opportunity for thanksgiving
“Gather yo the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost”
12 baskets full of scrum, Jesus pick u the scrum, pick us up (our mess). Scrum become cream. Nothing is wasted.
No interruptions is a loss.
John 6:1-13Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
6 Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. 3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. 4 The Jewish Passover Festival was near.
5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip,
“Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”
(PHILIP: LET THEM TAKE CARE THEMSELVES, SEND THEM HOME),
JESUS ALWAYS INVOLVE HIS PPL/CHURCH TO PARTICIPATE IN HIS PLAN)
6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”(ANDREW: ALWAYS HV SOLUTION BUT..)
(Andrew Take a step of faith)
10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
