- Mark 6:35-44 - 35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. 36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” 37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?” 38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.” 39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.

Impossible Possible1. Admit the _________________________

(You cannot get healthy until you admit that you’re sick. It’s an old adage, but one that rings true. In order to see God move in our lives, we have to come before Him with the need.)

2. Offer what you _____________________ (There is a great story in the Old Testament where God turns Moses; staff into a snake as a supernatural miracle right in front of his eyes! It was God essentially saying that God could use whatever Moses had to offer. He would lead all of the Israelites out of Egypt based not on what he didn’t have, but on what God had already provided!)

3. Jesus is still the one who _______ _____! (We are not the miracle workers. Jesus is. Yet he still partners with us!)

4. You won’t always ________________ the miracle with your ___________________. (While this miracle was quite quick, often many of the dealings God has with us are best seen over time; pricing once again that God is more patient than we are!)
