Message Notes:
13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” — Matthew 14v13-16 (ESV)
Desolation always brings hunger.
Trying to be generous:
1) Believe that God can use anything
They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish. — Matthew 14v17 (ESV)
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. — Hebrews 11v3 (ESV)
God wants to do something so supernatural in your life that you can’t take credit for it.
2) Submit our plans and efforts to God
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. — James 4v7-8 (ESV)
Hypostatic Union - the combination of divine and human natures in the person of Christ. (See Philippians 2)
And he said, “Bring them here to me.” — Matthew 14v18 (ESV)
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. — Psalm 37v5 (ESV)
3) Work with what you got
19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. – Matthew 14v17-19 (ESV)
Three Types of Giving
It’s not about who’s receiving, it’s about me giving.
it’s not an investment
its not a strategy
its worship
4) Receive, release, repeat
20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. – Matthew 14v20-21 (ESV)
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. - 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NLT)
