Loafers

Hi Harvest!

Here are the notes from last week’s message as well as a couple more application questions! Hope all is well; don’t forget to register to vote so you can go to the polls this November!

GO LONG
The Gospel of Mark: Mark 6:33-56
The Incident of the Loaves
What is the lesson that the disciples have not learned? That God goes to great lengths to love and provide for His people.
Two applications
1. Jesus Goes Long: He goes to great lengths to provide for His people- despite His tiredness and the apparent lack of resources, Jesus takes the time an effort to feed the 5,000+.
2. We Need to Go Long for Others: Following Jesus’ example, we need to give until it stretches our faith because God provides for us to minister to others.

Weekly Application Exercises
1. Recall at time when someone did something extraordinary for you- above and beyond what you deserved or expected. How did  that impact your life and opinion of the giver?
2. Think of someone in your life- or perhaps OUT of your life- who you could  impact in the very same way.

Additional Application Questions
1. What resource do you feel is lacking in your life? How might God be calling you to share from that resource?
2. In what ways have you seen your faith stretched in a proactive way in the recent future: where you took a step of faith by giving beyond your means in order to trust in the Lord?
3. Make a list of people who you know as in need who you can give to- if you have a hard time making that list, purpose to befriend someone who does have genuine needs.
