- More than Enough!
Have you ever faced an impossible situation and felt that you didn’t have the resources to deal with it? That’s exactly how the disciples felt when Jesus told them to feed a crowd of over 5000 hungry people. They couldn’t do it. But Jesus can. And the sooner we realize that and turn to Him, the better off we’ll be.

Introduction and offering
ILL: In 1971, the Jesus People Revival was happening primarily on the West Coast and very prominently here in Spokane. The high school ministry I led in Eugene decided to hold a weekend retreat at the Oregon Coast in June right after school let out. I asked the students who they’d like to invite to speak. They said Billy Graham; I told them he might

49 min - Jesus on The Other SideTRANSCRIPT
Last weekend, we read the story of Jesus calming the storm, and it starts with Him saying to His disciples, “Let’s go to the other side of the lake.” The other side was predominantly Gentile; it was filled with pagan temples and pagan practices; the Jews considered it unclean. So it was “other” not only geographically, but racially and spiritually too. Good Jews avoided it. But Jesus acted like He owned it, like the other side was His side too. If you’re going to follow Jesus, you’re going to the other side. You are going to move toward those who are different. You are going to take the good news to the other side. So what happened when they got to the other side? My oh my! Here’s the story:
Luke 8:26-39 (p. 889)
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary
45 min - Where is Your Faith?TRANSCRIPT
This Saturday is the 9th annual Spokenya Run! It’s a 4.3 mile walk or run—some people race, and some of us come out for a leisurely stroll along the river and some ice cream at the end! But here’s the cool part: it’s a benefit event to raise money for clean water in Kenya. Thanks to generous sponsors, every dime of your $25 registration goes to clean water projects in Kenya.
And we’ve got some ambitious projects in the works, including bringing clean water and restrooms to every school in the region. That’s 42 schools with over 10,000 students in them! Imagine going to school where there are no bathroom facilities and no clean water! We can change that!So go to spokenyarun.org and get registered, and we’ll see you Saturday at 9 am right here. And Laina and I will have some friends from Kenya we’d love for you to meet!How many of you are in the middle of a storm? Sometimes, life is clear sailing, and other times, you’re just battling to stay afloat. There is almost always a storm brewing somewhere in my life—and sometimes, I’m deep in the middle of one. So how many of you are in the middle of a storm? If you aren’t, you will be soon. And today, we’re going to read a story about Jesus and His disciples weathering a storm and learn what to do in the midst of the storm.We’re going to read Luke 8:16–25 (p. 888). We’ll read the whole thing, but we’re going to zero in on the storm story.Luke 8:16–25 (p. 888)16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”134 min - 44 min
