Like the disciples, we get spiritual amnesia.
How can we rehearse what God has given rise to in our community?

Scarcity is easy to fall back into. The disciples had just fed 5,000 and then 4,000 people with just a little bit, and they had leftovers. Yet, when the 13 of them were on the boat together, they got stressed again about having just one loaf.

How can we celebrate the harvest?
What impact do we hope to be celebrating/ harvesting a year from now?

Impact = the outcome of the outcome…the purpose of the growth…the harvest.

Worried that you don’t have much leaven to invest?
Start somewhere.

5 loaves of bread and 2 fish does not seem like much, but it was abundantly more than they needed! Do you have bread and fish just laying around?

How are you investing in the work of God in our community?

The Kingdom of God is like a little bit of leaven working its way through 3 measures of flour (think sourdough). As it slowly works its way through, we expectantly wait. As the leaven works its way through it slowly gives rise to the whole, transforming it for the better.

Be aware, though: bad leaven can also infect the whole loaf, so be careful what you sow.
