Walking out of Sams last week: Tortilla chips, nuts, milk, cheese, yogurt - an older man comes up to me as I am leaving to tell me of a recipe… put the chips in the oven with cheese on them… and some even use taco sauce.

AIN’T NOTHING NEW ABOUT THAT… BUT I WAS DRIVING HOME AND I WAS HUNGRY… 

TODAY, IT AIN’T NOTHING NEW, BUT IF YOUR HUNGRY…

 

 

JUST BEFORE MATTHEW 8

We see the disciples early start

Man with Leprosy - don’t tell anyone

Roman centurion - heal my servant

Peters mother in law

 

AND WE SEE THE OBVIOUS

Matthew 8:23-27 The Storm - So little faith

 

BUT THEN THEY SEE….

casts out demons

Heals the leader of the synagogue’s daughter

Jesus heals blind and demonic

He gives the disciples authority to heal, cast, deliver

John the baptists disciples affirm Jesus

Jesus heals on the sabbath a deformed hand

Jesus heals a blind and demon possessed man

Jesus feeds 5000/15-20K

Jesus walks on water-Peter walks on water

Jesus heals the masses and many healed by touching his garment

Jesus heals the Gentile woman’s daughter and even says “no greater faith”

Then Jesus heals the masses again, sick, blind, crippled, afflicted, demonic lame

Jesus feeds 4000/15000 more 

Peter declares Jesus is the Messiah 

The transfiguration - Peter James and John hang out with Elijah and Moses AND HEAR A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAY “THIS IS MY DEARLY LOVED SON, WHO BRING BE GREAT JOY, LISTEN TO HIM”

 

 

 

YO DISCIPLES HEAL MY BOY

Matthew 17: 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you!

 

 

Lack of faith GK - Olly-gop-i-stos

Def: disinterested in walking intimately with him.

CONTRAST- The goal of life is to receive and obey each time he speaks to you. 

 

**So it was not that the disciples were 

not with Jesus, 

Listened to Jesus

Talked to Jesus

Or see his miracles

it was that they were not interested in walking intimately with him.
