SERMON NOTES

Miracles: Jesus Feeds 5000

Come to God fresh and new with a child-like faith – nothing is impossible.  

John 6:1-7(NIV)

Sometime 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?” 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!”

The answer to the question is the one who is answering the question.

They are more focused on what they can’t do, rather than focusing on Jesus can do.

Miracles start with a mess. The first step of a miracle is when there is no hope, a problem that can’t be solved.

Jesus never said here’s a problem, how are YOU going to solve it. He said how will WE feed them? Jesus says, "Apart from me, you can do nothing."

John 6:10-12 (NIV)

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."

5 loaves + 2 fishes = not enough.

5 loaves + 2 fishes + Jesus = more than enough

Add Jesus to your not enough and it becomes MORE than enough.
