Text; John 6; 4-13

4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus lifted

up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread,

that these may eat?” 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what

He would do.7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may

have a little.”

3

8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among

so many?” 10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much

grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the

disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as

much as they wanted.

4

12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up

the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” 13 Therefore they

gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments

of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had

eaten.

Source (Basis) of our Involvement!

I; Negative basis VV 35 When the day was now far spent, His

disciples came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already the

hour is late. 36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country

and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.”

The disciple was pushing Jesus to send away the crowed, they do not want to get involve in be part of the

success of those gatherings!

Comfortable- after hearing the message, no more!

Dependent on Jesus- they don’t look their means, Resources and their Potentials! Jesus wants cooperation here!

Part of God- I will multiply the food Parts of the disciples- just give me

your five loaves and two fishes!

II; Positive basis You must know the needs

I; Food- V 5…He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”

II; Money- V 7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.”

 III; Time and Place- Matthew 14:15 As evening approached, the 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 villages and buy themselves some food."

Persons Involve!

I; Philip- V7 involve but his focus was not on Jesus but towards the Problems!

II; Andrew- VV 8-9 he introduce the Boy but he has doubt, V9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”

III; The small boy- give his five loaves and two fishes. this speaks to us, when we make

our part, no matter how big or small it can create a big impact!

Effect

The five loaves and the two fishes was able to feed the five thousands of People!

This shows to us, no matter how big or small our investment to God, He will use that miraculously!

Just Release it,,,, Give it to God!

Application

Past involvement- increase it!

Present involvement- maintain it!

Future involvement- strive for it!
