Jesus invites us on an unforgettable journey of discovery and spiritual growth. We are accustomed to traveling and when we do, we have our 'must-have items' to bring along. In the case of Jesus followers, Jesus called them to follow Him and take nothing with them. Rather exchange all they know, for what he has to offer. Their curiosity and faith would be met with first-hand encounters of Jesus' compassion in all sorts of miracles and wonders. As they humbled themselves before their compassionate shepherd they saw the glory of God first-hand.
If we're in it to win it for ourselves we will be humbled, but when we are in it for the glory of God - his favor will overflow in our lives and multiply the outflow to bless others.
In this message, Pastor Andrew looks at Mark 6, where Jesus uses the Feeding of 5,000 as a teachable moment for the followers of Jesus, to see what compassion at work looks like.
