5. And He said to them, “How many loaves do you have. Go look

8. and He divided up the two fish among them all

9. So Simple…Maybe too Simple
We see needs
We see provision
We see Jesus meeting our basic needs
True…but NO!

10. déjà vu? A Thrilling Victory Anticipation of Rest A Desolate Place
A Hungry Crowd

11. déjà vu? An Impossible Situation An Astonishing Outcome
Hardened, Slow-believing Hearts
One Main Thing

12. Walking with Jesus Walking with Jesus is… Over our heads
Beyond our ability to perform
Requires more than we have to give

13. One Main Thing Walking with Jesus will…
Be inconvenient
Challenge our agendas
Jesus doesn’t just provide provisions, He IS our provision

15. Don’t Miss the MARK Jesus saw ministry, disciples saw interruption
Disciples saw success, Jesus saw hardened hearts
We see food, Jesus wants us to see Him.
