  • The five loaves and two fish, is a picture of god's power
  • 00:02:14.928 --> 00:02:17.964
  • Is a picture of god's power to provide.
  • 00:02:18.031 --> 00:02:19.566
  • To provide. all four gospels agree that
  • 00:02:19.632 --> 00:02:21.034
  • All four gospels agree that there were 5,000 men there.
  • 00:02:21.100 --> 00:02:23.803
  • There were 5,000 men there. some of the gospels say
  • 00:02:23.870 --> 00:02:25.338
  • Some of the gospels say that it was plus women
  • 00:02:25.405 --> 00:02:26.739
  • That it was plus women and children.
  • 00:02:26.806 --> 00:02:27.273

  • Of course, it was plus women
  • 00:02:27.874 --> 00:02:28.508
  • It was plus women and children,
  • 00:02:28.575 --> 00:02:29.342

  • 00:02:30.543 --> 00:02:31.244
  • Of the passover, and families were making
  • 00:02:31.311 --> 00:02:32.512
  • And families were making a pilgrimage to jerusalem
  • 00:02:32.579 --> 00:02:34.447
  • A pilgrimage to jerusalem from all over the region.
  • 00:02:34.514 --> 00:02:37.050
  • From all over the region. bible historians suggest
  • 00:02:37.116 --> 00:02:38.618
  • Bible historians suggest that there were between 15
  • 00:02:38.685 --> 00:02:39.986
  • That there were between 15 and 20,000 people
  • 00:02:40.053 --> 00:02:41.621

  • One event. now understand that the area
  • 00:02:45.291 --> 00:02:46.693
  • Now understand that the area around the sea of galilee,
  • 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:48.094
  • Around the sea of galilee, if you took all of the cities
  • 00:02:48.161 --> 00:02:49.529
  • If you took all of the cities that were there and you added
  • 00:02:49.596 --> 00:02:50.697
  • That were there and you added up their civilization
  • 00:02:50.763 --> 00:02:52.265
  • Up their civilization and their population,
  • 00:02:52.332 --> 00:02:53.166
  • And their population, you'd have about 40,000
  • 00:02:53.233 --> 00:02:54.667
  • You'd have about 40,000 people.
  • 00:02:54.734 --> 00:02:55.335
  • People. but because it's the passover,
  • 00:02:55.401 --> 00:02:56.669
  • But because it's the passover, there's a lot of people
  • 00:02:56.736 --> 00:02:57.670
  • There's a lot of people from out of town in town.
  • 00:02:57.737 --> 00:02:59.405
  • From out of town in town. and right now,
  • 00:02:59.472 --> 00:03:00.139
  • And right now, about half of them are
  • 00:03:00.206 --> 00:03:01.674
  • About half of them are with jesus.
  • 00:03:01.741 --> 00:03:03.876
  • With jesus. jesus was with his disciples
  • 00:03:03.943 --> 00:03:05.378
  • Jesus was with his disciples up on the mountain.
  • 00:03:05.445 --> 00:03:06.446
  • Up on the mountain. and this crowd going towards
  • 00:03:06.512 --> 00:03:08.081
  • And this crowd going towards jerusalem found them.
  • 00:03:08.147 --> 00:03:10.984
  • Jerusalem found them. when the crowd found christ,
  • 00:03:11.050 --> 00:03:12.452
  • When the crowd found christ, he was moved with compassion.
  • 00:03:12.518 --> 00:03:14.520
  • He was moved with compassion. and as he saw them coming
  • 00:03:14.587 --> 00:03:16.055
  • And as he saw them coming his way,
  • 00:03:16.122 --> 00:03:16.889
  • His way, he began to teach them,
  • 00:03:16.956 --> 00:03:18.625
  • He began to teach them, and he began to touch them,
  • 00:03:18.691 --> 00:03:20.360
  • And he began to touch them, and he began to pray for them.
  • 00:03:20.426 --> 00:03:22.095
  • And he began to pray for them. and it stayed going on and on
  • 00:03:22.161 --> 00:03:24.664
  • And it stayed going on and on and on until it was late.
  • 00:03:24.731 --> 00:03:27.734
  • And on until it was late. and then jesus does something
  • 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.235
  • And then jesus does something that catches the disciples
  • 00:03:29.302 --> 00:03:30.403
  • That catches the disciples by surprise.
  • 00:03:30.470 --> 00:03:32.105
  • By surprise. he asks a question.
  • 00:03:32.171 --> 00:03:34.741
  • He asks a question. "where can we find bread,
  • 00:03:34.807 --> 00:03:37.310
  • "where can we find bread, that all of these people
  • 00:03:37.377 --> 00:03:38.678
  • That all of these people may eat?"
  • 00:03:38.745 --> 00:03:40.413
  • May eat?" in john's gospel,
  • 00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:42.415
  • In john's gospel, he asks this question
  • 00:03:42.482 --> 00:03:43.583
  • He asks this question to philip.
  • 00:03:43.650 --> 00:03:44.284
  • To philip. why?
  • 00:03:44.350 --> 00:03:46.319
  • Why? because philip was from
  • 00:03:46.386 --> 00:03:47.387
  • Because philip was from bethsaida.
  • 00:03:47.453 --> 00:03:48.955
  • Bethsaida. luke 9:10 says the area that
  • 00:03:49.022 --> 00:03:51.457
  • Luke 9:10 says the area that they were gathered belonged to
  • 00:03:51.524 --> 00:03:52.592
  • They were gathered belonged to bethsaida.
  • 00:03:52.659 --> 00:03:53.459
  • Bethsaida. john 12 says philip was from
  • 00:03:53.526 --> 00:03:55.428
  • John 12 says philip was from bethsaida.
  • 00:03:55.495 --> 00:03:56.062
  • Bethsaida. so here's how the conversation
  • 00:03:56.129 --> 00:03:57.163
  • So here's how the conversation went.
  • 00:03:57.230 --> 00:03:57.664
  • Went. jesus looks at this multitude
  • 00:03:57.730 --> 00:03:58.965
  • Jesus looks at this multitude of people and he says,
  • 00:03:59.032 --> 00:03:59.666
  • Of people and he says, "hey phil,
  • 00:03:59.732 --> 00:04:01.501
  • "hey phil, we're in your neighborhood.
  • 00:04:01.567 --> 00:04:02.235
  • We're in your neighborhood. who's got the best tacos?"
  • 00:04:02.302 --> 00:04:04.537
  • Who's got the best tacos?" (laughter)
  • 00:04:04.604 --> 00:04:08.174
  • (laughter) and philip freaks out.
  • 00:04:08.241 --> 00:04:10.910
  • And philip freaks out. but the bible says that jesus
  • 00:04:10.977 --> 00:04:12.612
  • But the bible says that jesus asked philip this question
  • 00:04:12.679 --> 00:04:14.547
  • Asked philip this question to test him,
  • 00:04:14.614 --> 00:04:17.116
  • To test him, because he knew what he
  • 00:04:17.183 --> 00:04:20.219
  • Because he knew what he would do.
  • 00:04:20.286 --> 00:04:22.855
  • Would do. don't you ever get worried
  • 00:04:22.922 --> 00:04:24.023
  • Don't you ever get worried when jesus asks you
  • 00:04:24.090 --> 00:04:25.258
  • When jesus asks you a question.
  • 00:04:25.325 --> 00:04:25.758
  • A question. he's not looking for
  • 00:04:25.825 --> 00:04:26.859
  • He's not looking for the answer.
  • 00:04:26.926 --> 00:04:27.593
  • The answer. he's all-knowing.
  • 00:04:27.660 --> 00:04:28.528
  • He's all-knowing. he's already god the answer.
  • 00:04:28.594 --> 00:04:30.663
  • He's already god the answer. [yes.]
  • 00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:31.531
  • [yes.] (applause)
  • 00:04:31.597 --> 00:04:32.131
  • (applause) how do you know he's got
  • 00:04:32.198 --> 00:04:32.999
  • How do you know he's got the answer?
  • 00:04:33.066 --> 00:04:33.533
  • The answer? because he is the answer.
  • 00:04:33.599 --> 00:04:35.768
  • Because he is the answer. [yes.]
  • 00:04:35.835 --> 00:04:36.369
  • [yes.] john 1:3,
  • 00:04:36.436 --> 00:04:37.637
  • John 1:3, "all things were made through
  • 00:04:37.704 --> 00:04:39.439
  • "all things were made through him,
  • 00:04:39.505 --> 00:04:39.972
  • Him, without him nothing was made
  • 00:04:40.039 --> 00:04:41.574
  • Without him nothing was made that was made."
  • 00:04:41.641 --> 00:04:43.009
  • That was made." that means that when jesus
  • 00:04:43.076 --> 00:04:44.043
  • That means that when jesus wants to bless somebody,
  • 00:04:44.110 --> 00:04:45.378
  • Wants to bless somebody, he already knows where
  • 00:04:45.445 --> 00:04:46.412
  • He already knows where the blessing is coming from.
  • 00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:47.814
  • The blessing is coming from. when jesus wants to do
  • 00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:49.048
  • When jesus wants to do something,
  • 00:04:49.115 --> 00:04:49.515
  • Something, he already knows how it's
  • 00:04:49.582 --> 00:04:50.583
  • He already knows how it's going to be done.
  • 00:04:50.650 --> 00:04:51.584
  • Going to be done. when jesus asks you to be
  • 00:04:51.651 --> 00:04:53.486
  • When jesus asks you to be a part of it,
  • 00:04:53.553 --> 00:04:54.287
  • A part of it, he's sending you an invitation
  • 00:04:54.354 --> 00:04:56.322
  • He's sending you an invitation to see if you have enough
  • 00:04:56.389 --> 00:04:57.390
  • To see if you have enough faith to trust in him.
  • 00:04:57.457 --> 00:04:59.459
  • Faith to trust in him. [right.]
  • 00:04:59.525 --> 00:05:00.126
  • [right.] it's a test.
  • 00:05:00.193 --> 00:05:02.362
  • It's a test. he's testing you to see
  • 00:05:02.428 --> 00:05:03.529
  • He's testing you to see if you'll apply what you've
  • 00:05:03.596 --> 00:05:04.764
  • If you'll apply what you've learned from his word.
  • 00:05:04.831 --> 00:05:06.232
  • Learned from his word. he wants to know if you
  • 00:05:06.299 --> 00:05:07.700
  • He wants to know if you understand where all of
  • 00:05:07.767 --> 00:05:09.068
  • Understand where all of your blessings come from,
  • 00:05:09.135 --> 00:05:10.536
  • Your blessings come from, because every good and perfect
  • 00:05:10.603 --> 00:05:12.238
  • Because every good and perfect gift comes from the lord.
  • 00:05:12.305 --> 00:05:14.474
  • Gift comes from the lord. [amen.]
  • 00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:15.441
  • [amen.] he's trying to find out
  • 00:05:15.508 --> 00:05:16.376
  • He's trying to find out from philip;
  • 00:05:16.442 --> 00:05:16.909
  • From philip; have you understood
  • 00:05:16.976 --> 00:05:17.677
  • Have you understood the supernatural power of
  • 00:05:17.744 --> 00:05:19.045
  • The supernatural power of the kingdom that you're a part
  • 00:05:19.112 --> 00:05:20.146
  • The kingdom that you're a part of or are you going to
  • 00:05:20.213 --> 00:05:21.247
  • Of or are you going to continue to face problems
  • 00:05:21.314 --> 00:05:22.615
  • Continue to face problems in your natural strength?
  • 00:05:22.682 --> 00:05:25.651
  • In your natural strength? it's a test.
  • 00:05:25.718 --> 00:05:28.087
  • It's a test. jesus gave us the answer
  • 00:05:28.154 --> 00:05:29.822
  • Jesus gave us the answer to the test.
  • 00:05:29.889 --> 00:05:31.657
  • To the test. he gave it to us in mark
  • 00:05:31.724 --> 00:05:32.792
  • He gave it to us in mark when he said these words,
  • 00:05:32.859 --> 00:05:33.993
  • When he said these words, "have faith in god."
  • 00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:36.562
  • "have faith in god." say that with me.
  • 00:05:36.629 --> 00:05:37.563
  • Say that with me. "have faith in god."
  • 00:05:37.630 --> 00:05:40.466
  • "have faith in god." "all things are possible
  • 00:05:40.533 --> 00:05:42.702
  • "all things are possible to those who believe,"
  • 00:05:42.769 --> 00:05:44.237
  • To those who believe," that's what jesus said
  • 00:05:44.303 --> 00:05:45.605
  • That's what jesus said whenever he told us to have
  • 00:05:45.671 --> 00:05:46.873
  • Whenever he told us to have faith in god.
  • 00:05:46.939 --> 00:05:50.143
  • Faith in god. philip hears this question.
  • 00:05:50.209 --> 00:05:51.878
  • Philip hears this question. it's a supernatural question.
  • 00:05:51.944 --> 00:05:53.579
  • It's a supernatural question. if he answers it
  • 00:05:53.646 --> 00:05:54.480
  • If he answers it supernaturally,
  • 00:05:54.547 --> 00:05:55.448
  • Supernaturally, he lives above
  • 00:05:55.515 --> 00:05:56.282
  • He lives above the circumstances.
  • 00:05:56.349 --> 00:05:57.316
  • The circumstances. but because he answers it
  • 00:05:57.383 --> 00:05:58.451
  • But because he answers it in his natural mind,
  • 00:05:58.518 --> 00:05:59.819
  • In his natural mind, he lives beneath
  • 00:05:59.886 --> 00:06:00.787
  • He lives beneath the circumstances.
  • 00:06:00.853 --> 00:06:02.789
  • The circumstances. as long as you live your life
  • 00:06:02.855 --> 00:06:04.290
  • As long as you live your life in your natural mind,
  • 00:06:04.357 --> 00:06:05.425
  • In your natural mind, you're always going to be
  • 00:06:05.491 --> 00:06:06.626
  • You're always going to be under the circumstances.
  • 00:06:06.692 --> 00:06:08.227
  • Under the circumstances. when you start to live it
  • 00:06:08.294 --> 00:06:09.262
  • When you start to live it in the supernatural power of
  • 00:06:09.328 --> 00:06:10.797
  • In the supernatural power of the kingdom of jesus christ,
  • 00:06:10.863 --> 00:06:12.565
  • The kingdom of jesus christ, suddenly you become the head
  • 00:06:12.632 --> 00:06:14.567
  • Suddenly you become the head and not the tail,
  • 00:06:14.634 --> 00:06:15.635
  • And not the tail, you become above
  • 00:06:15.701 --> 00:06:16.803
  • You become above and not beneath.
  • 00:06:16.869 --> 00:06:17.937
  • And not beneath. you find out what it means
  • 00:06:18.004 --> 00:06:19.772
  • You find out what it means to be more than a conqueror
  • 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.074
  • To be more than a conqueror through christ.
  • 00:06:22.141 --> 00:06:24.110
  • Through christ. natural reasoning never
  • 00:06:24.177 --> 00:06:25.912
  • Natural reasoning never produces a supernatural
  • 00:06:25.978 --> 00:06:27.413
  • Produces a supernatural outcome.
  • 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.081
  • Outcome. jesus asked philip,
  • 00:06:29.148 --> 00:06:30.716
  • Jesus asked philip, "where can we find bread?"
  • 00:06:30.783 --> 00:06:33.352
  • "where can we find bread?" in verse 7,
  • 00:06:33.419 --> 00:06:34.187
  • In verse 7, philip says,
  • 00:06:34.253 --> 00:06:35.188
  • Philip says, "two hundred denarii worth of
  • 00:06:35.254 --> 00:06:36.756
  • "two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient
  • 00:06:36.823 --> 00:06:38.257
  • Bread is not sufficient for them,
  • 00:06:38.324 --> 00:06:38.858
  • For them, for every one of them just
  • 00:06:38.925 --> 00:06:40.226
  • For every one of them just to have a little."
  • 00:06:40.293 --> 00:06:43.162
  • To have a little." in john 6,
  • 00:06:43.229 --> 00:06:44.230
  • In john 6, the conversation is just
  • 00:06:44.297 --> 00:06:45.631
  • The conversation is just between jesus and philip.
  • 00:06:45.698 --> 00:06:46.833
  • Between jesus and philip. but when you read the other
  • 00:06:46.899 --> 00:06:47.800
  • But when you read the other gospels,
  • 00:06:47.867 --> 00:06:48.601
  • Gospels, all 12 disciples were
  • 00:06:48.668 --> 00:06:50.703
  • All 12 disciples were involved.
  • 00:06:50.770 --> 00:06:52.138
  • Involved. mark 6,
  • 00:06:52.205 --> 00:06:53.072
  • Mark 6, it says that his disciples
  • 00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:54.907
  • It says that his disciples came to him,
  • 00:06:54.974 --> 00:06:55.942
  • Came to him, and they said to him,
  • 00:06:56.008 --> 00:06:57.009
  • And they said to him, "send them away."
  • 00:06:57.076 --> 00:06:59.345
  • "send them away." isn't that just like some
  • 00:06:59.412 --> 00:07:00.346
  • Isn't that just like some churches?
  • 00:07:00.413 --> 00:07:00.880
  • Churches? just about the time new people
  • 00:07:00.947 --> 00:07:02.081
  • Just about the time new people start to show up, you say,
  • 00:07:02.148 --> 00:07:03.115
  • Start to show up, you say, "send them away."
  • 00:07:03.182 --> 00:07:06.385
  • "send them away." now they said it
  • 00:07:06.452 --> 00:07:07.253
  • Now they said it in a very kind way.
  • 00:07:07.320 --> 00:07:09.155
  • In a very kind way. "send them away that they
  • 00:07:09.222 --> 00:07:10.490
  • "send them away that they may go and buy bread
  • 00:07:10.556 --> 00:07:12.391
  • May go and buy bread for themselves."
  • 00:07:12.458 --> 00:07:14.360
  • For themselves." in mark 6,
  • 00:07:14.427 --> 00:07:14.961
  • In mark 6, jesus looked back at
  • 00:07:15.027 --> 00:07:15.761
  • Jesus looked back at the disciples and said,
  • 00:07:15.828 --> 00:07:16.596
  • The disciples and said, "you feed them."
  • 00:07:16.662 --> 00:07:19.732
  • "you feed them." all 12 were pointing to
  • 00:07:19.799 --> 00:07:21.767
  • All 12 were pointing to a natural problem
  • 00:07:21.834 --> 00:07:23.069
  • A natural problem and they wanted to provide
  • 00:07:23.135 --> 00:07:24.103
  • And they wanted to provide a natural solution.
  • 00:07:24.170 --> 00:07:26.439
  • A natural solution. they said,
  • 00:07:26.506 --> 00:07:26.772
  • They said, "hey jesus,
  • 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:27.440
  • "hey jesus, if you'll just tell them,
  • 00:07:27.507 --> 00:07:28.241
  • If you'll just tell them, 'raise your hand
  • 00:07:28.307 --> 00:07:28.875
  • 'raise your hand for the blessing,'
  • 00:07:28.941 --> 00:07:29.542
  • For the blessing,' this will be over
  • 00:07:29.609 --> 00:07:30.309
  • This will be over and they can go have brunch."
  • 00:07:30.376 --> 00:07:32.478
  • And they can go have brunch." (laughter)
  • 00:07:32.545 --> 00:07:34.647
  • (laughter) in john 6,
  • 00:07:34.714 --> 00:07:35.515
  • In john 6, philip gives a number,
  • 00:07:35.581 --> 00:07:36.649
  • Philip gives a number, "two hundred denarii."
  • 00:07:36.716 --> 00:07:37.617
  • "two hundred denarii." that's six month's worth of
  • 00:07:37.683 --> 00:07:38.918
  • That's six month's worth of wages.
  • 00:07:38.985 --> 00:07:39.986
  • Wages. he says,
  • 00:07:40.052 --> 00:07:40.419
  • He says, we've got half a year's worth
  • 00:07:40.486 --> 00:07:41.921
  • We've got half a year's worth of money and we still can't
  • 00:07:41.988 --> 00:07:43.489
  • Of money and we still can't afford dinner on the grounds.
  • 00:07:43.556 --> 00:07:45.892
  • Afford dinner on the grounds. (laughter)
  • 00:07:45.958 --> 00:07:47.927
  • (laughter) now how do you know all of
  • 00:07:47.994 --> 00:07:48.828
  • Now how do you know all of the disciples were involved?
  • 00:07:48.895 --> 00:07:50.096
  • The disciples were involved? philip doesn't hold
  • 00:07:50.162 --> 00:07:51.097
  • Philip doesn't hold the money bag;
  • 00:07:51.163 --> 00:07:51.664
  • The money bag; judas does.
  • 00:07:51.731 --> 00:07:54.100
  • Judas does. so when jesus asked philip,
  • 00:07:54.166 --> 00:07:56.002
  • So when jesus asked philip, "where can we buy bread?"
  • 00:07:56.068 --> 00:07:57.403
  • "where can we buy bread?" philip runs to judas.
  • 00:07:57.470 --> 00:07:58.404
  • Philip runs to judas. he says, "hey judie,
  • 00:07:58.471 --> 00:07:59.939
  • He says, "hey judie, i was just in the boss's
  • 00:08:00.006 --> 00:08:00.706
  • I was just in the boss's office and he wants to have
  • 00:08:00.773 --> 00:08:03.075
  • Office and he wants to have kind of like a big banquet
  • 00:08:03.142 --> 00:08:04.210
  • Kind of like a big banquet sort of thing.
  • 00:08:04.277 --> 00:08:04.710
  • Sort of thing. how much money we got?"
  • 00:08:04.777 --> 00:08:06.946
  • How much money we got?" judas goes,
  • 00:08:07.013 --> 00:08:07.380
  • Judas goes, "two hundred denarii."
  • 00:08:07.446 --> 00:08:08.648
  • "two hundred denarii." philip runs back and says,
  • 00:08:08.714 --> 00:08:09.282
  • Philip runs back and says, "yeah, sorry.
  • 00:08:09.348 --> 00:08:10.082
  • "yeah, sorry. we're going to have to put
  • 00:08:10.149 --> 00:08:10.783
  • We're going to have to put that before the elders for
  • 00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:11.751
  • That before the elders for a vote for next year's budget,
  • 00:08:11.817 --> 00:08:13.619
  • A vote for next year's budget, because that's just not going
  • 00:08:13.686 --> 00:08:14.720
  • Because that's just not going to happen."
  • 00:08:14.787 --> 00:08:15.988
  • To happen." (laughter)
  • 00:08:16.055 --> 00:08:19.358
  • (laughter) the problem is philip is
  • 00:08:19.425 --> 00:08:20.259
  • The problem is philip is answering the wrong question.
  • 00:08:20.326 --> 00:08:22.962
  • Answering the wrong question. jesus is asking about bread,
  • 00:08:23.029 --> 00:08:24.764
  • Jesus is asking about bread, and philip is talking about
  • 00:08:24.830 --> 00:08:25.831
  • And philip is talking about money.
  • 00:08:25.898 --> 00:08:27.733
  • Money. how often are we invited
  • 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.268
  • How often are we invited to participate in
  • 00:08:29.335 --> 00:08:30.202
  • To participate in the supernatural outpouring
  • 00:08:30.269 --> 00:08:31.571
  • The supernatural outpouring of god's power,
  • 00:08:31.637 --> 00:08:32.972
  • Of god's power, and immediately,
  • 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:33.906
  • And immediately, we use our natural reasoning
  • 00:08:33.973 --> 00:08:35.808
  • We use our natural reasoning to talk ourselves out of
  • 00:08:35.875 --> 00:08:37.009
  • To talk ourselves out of a miracle?
  • 00:08:37.076 --> 00:08:38.978
  • A miracle? the lord asks you to do
  • 00:08:39.045 --> 00:08:40.212
  • The lord asks you to do something for him.
  • 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.248
  • Something for him. you feel compelled that
  • 00:08:42.315 --> 00:08:43.783
  • You feel compelled that the lord wants you to serve
  • 00:08:43.849 --> 00:08:45.284
  • The lord wants you to serve in church,
  • 00:08:45.351 --> 00:08:46.118
  • In church, and as soon as you have
  • 00:08:46.185 --> 00:08:47.053
  • And as soon as you have that feeling,
  • 00:08:47.119 --> 00:08:48.020
  • That feeling, you know the holy spirit
  • 00:08:48.087 --> 00:08:49.255
  • You know the holy spirit is inviting you into
  • 00:08:49.322 --> 00:08:50.423
  • Is inviting you into a miracle moment.
  • 00:08:50.489 --> 00:08:51.457
  • A miracle moment. and suddenly you come back
  • 00:08:51.524 --> 00:08:52.725
  • And suddenly you come back with your natural answer,
  • 00:08:52.792 --> 00:08:53.859
  • With your natural answer, "well, well, i'm sorry.
  • 00:08:53.926 --> 00:08:54.961
  • "well, well, i'm sorry. i would, sir,
  • 00:08:55.027 --> 00:08:55.695
  • I would, sir, but i just don't have any free
  • 00:08:55.761 --> 00:08:56.896
  • But i just don't have any free time.

  • Time. i mean, between my work,
  • 00:08:57.430 --> 00:08:58.164
  • I mean, between my work, and my kids,
  • 00:08:58.230 --> 00:08:58.764
  • And my kids, and my sports tournaments on
  • 00:08:58.831 --> 00:09:00.032
  • And my sports tournaments on sunday that keep me out of
  • 00:09:00.099 --> 00:09:01.400
  • Sunday that keep me out of church,
  • 00:09:01.467 --> 00:09:01.901
  • Church, there's just not a lot of time
  • 00:09:01.968 --> 00:09:02.868
  • There's just not a lot of time for me to be involved.
  • 00:09:02.935 --> 00:09:04.370
  • For me to be involved. until you get over
  • 00:09:04.437 --> 00:09:05.071
  • Until you get over your natural reasons why
  • 00:09:05.137 --> 00:09:06.439
  • Your natural reasons why it can't be done,
  • 00:09:06.505 --> 00:09:07.640
  • It can't be done, you're never going see all
  • 00:09:07.707 --> 00:09:09.075
  • You're never going see all that god can do when you're
  • 00:09:09.141 --> 00:09:11.043
  • That god can do when you're willing to trust in him.
  • 00:09:11.110 --> 00:09:13.379
  • Willing to trust in him. and this is where we come to
  • 00:09:13.446 --> 00:09:14.513
  • And this is where we come to the picture of perfect faith.
  • 00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:16.949
  • The picture of perfect faith. i choose john 6 to tell this
  • 00:09:17.016 --> 00:09:19.318
  • I choose john 6 to tell this story today because john is
  • 00:09:19.385 --> 00:09:21.520
  • Story today because john is the only writer who tells us
  • 00:09:21.587 --> 00:09:23.422
  • The only writer who tells us where the food came from.
  • 00:09:23.489 --> 00:09:26.325
  • Where the food came from. in verse 9,
  • 00:09:26.392 --> 00:09:27.393
  • In verse 9, it says, "there is a lad."
  • 00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:29.695
  • It says, "there is a lad." say that with me.
  • 00:09:29.762 --> 00:09:30.663
  • Say that with me. "there is a lad."
  • 00:09:30.730 --> 00:09:32.898
  • "there is a lad." in every other gospel,
  • 00:09:32.965 --> 00:09:33.933
  • In every other gospel, it leaves the boy out probably
  • 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.469
  • It leaves the boy out probably because the disciples were
  • 00:09:36.535 --> 00:09:37.403
  • Because the disciples were fighting over who found
  • 00:09:37.470 --> 00:09:38.437
  • Fighting over who found his lunch.
  • 00:09:38.504 --> 00:09:40.039
  • His lunch. (laughter)
  • 00:09:40.106 --> 00:09:41.607
  • (laughter) but john says,
  • 00:09:41.674 --> 00:09:42.341
  • But john says, "there is a lad."
  • 00:09:42.408 --> 00:09:45.511
  • "there is a lad." andrew brings it up.
  • 00:09:45.578 --> 00:09:47.813
  • Andrew brings it up. he says,
  • 00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:48.247
  • He says, "he has five barley loaves
  • 00:09:48.314 --> 00:09:49.982
  • "he has five barley loaves and two small fish."
  • 00:09:50.049 --> 00:09:54.220
  • And two small fish." now picture this in your mind.
  • 00:09:54.286 --> 00:09:56.355
  • Now picture this in your mind. in the midst of all of
  • 00:09:56.422 --> 00:09:57.323
  • In the midst of all of this commotion of
  • 00:09:57.390 --> 00:09:58.591
  • This commotion of the passover season,
  • 00:09:58.658 --> 00:09:59.759
  • The passover season, thousands of people making

  • Thousands of people making their pilgrimage nine miles
  • 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.728

  • Bethsaida, in all of this noise
  • 00:10:04.797 --> 00:10:07.533
  • In all of this noise and chaos,
  • 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.501
  • And chaos, there's one child who is
  • 00:10:08.567 --> 00:10:10.703
  • There's one child who is willing to walk with that
  • 00:10:10.770 --> 00:10:12.371
  • Willing to walk with that crowd and push through all

  • Just so he can work his way close enough to jesus
  • 00:10:21.313 --> 00:10:24.083
  • Close enough to jesus so that he can hear

  • So that he can hear what the master wants.
