Outline: Jesus Demonstrates Concern for the Multitude John 6:5-6 - When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Jesus was attentive to both spiritual and physical needs We must be genuinely concerned about others, even our enemies Take time to help others become calm and relax Practical Application: Follow Jesus' example by taking notice of the needs around you, both spiritual and physical. Show genuine concern and care for others, even those who oppose you. Create opportunities for people to experience the Lord's peace and provision. God Provides More Than Enough John 6:12-13 - When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. The fragments represent God's abundance In this season, God will provide overflow to meet the needs of those we are called to reach Practical Application: Trust that as you serve others, God will supply more than enough resources for every good work. Maintain an abundance mindset, knowing that God's provision will overflow to you and those you minister to. Maintain Focus on Your God-Given Purpose John 6:14-15 - Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. Don't let people pressure you into a role God hasn't called you to Know when to withdraw to maintain focus and alignment with God's plan Practical Application: Be confident in the purpose and abilities God has given you. Don't let the expectations of others pull you away from your true calling. Prioritize regular time alone with God to refocus and avoid distractions. The Work of God is to Believe John 6:28-29 - Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. Miracles should point people to Jesus, not entertain The greatest work is believing in the One God has sent Practical Application: Don't seek signs and wonders for personal gratification, but as a means of drawing others to saving faith in Jesus. Make believing in and staying devoted to Christ your highest priority and the foundation of all your Kingdom work.
