1. How a Biblical Miracle works in my life?
• When there is a need sensed by a few.
• Each individual understands his or her responsibility and gives his or her all regardless of the odds.
* Hot & Cold Analogy: The people were anxious to hear Jesus but they had no idea what was going to happen. God has things waiting for you.
2. There is no miracle without a problem.
• The seed of a miracle is a problem or a need.
• The people didn't seem aware of the problem, but the disciples did.
NEED #1 Mark 6:34 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
NEED #2 Mark 6:35-36 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat."
3. The disciples sensed the need but only had suggestions.
• v. 35 (see above)
• This is how a lot of us pray!
4. The disciples wanted Jesus to do everything so when He told them to do it they were shocked.
• Mark 6:37(a) But Jesus said, "You feed them."
• God wants to partner with us.
5. John 6:9 "There's a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?"
SIDE NOTE: The kid probably didn't want to give up his lunch.
* It's hard to care for others when you are comfortable.
* The request made no sense at all.
* The kid didn't need Jesus but they understood their responsibility regardless of the odds.
CONCLUSIONS
1. Some of us need to let go of that which gives us security (Trust Jesus with your lunch.)
2. Jesus can d a lot with a little.
