Satisfied with Jesus

3/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Sermon Scripture:  Mark 6:31-44
Picture
1.  What keeps people from being satisfied with Jesus?
  • A lack of faith/unbelief.
  • A lack of opportunity/no preaching.
  • A lack of courage/no convictions.
  • A lack of preparation/no organization.
  • A lack of compassion/no ministry.
  • A lack of priorities/no time and financial resources for ministry.
​2.  “Who is hungry?” 
  • Ministry is Needed: It is possible to minister to others out of necessity and miss out on the blessings of being ministered to. Those that feed the flock must also eat!
  • Even the minister needs a time to rest, recover, and eat.
  • This requires time with Jesus, solitude, and rest.
  • This is difficult to achieve because of the ever present needs of the crowd.
  • The need always gets there before you do! You can never satisfy all needs, only Jesus can do that. 
3.  “What is for Dinner?” 
  • Ministry Defined: The Recipe for Christian ministry!
  • Motive: Moved with kindness/compassion
  • Metaphor: Sheep without a shepherd
  • Method: Jesus led in teaching them and tending to their needs.
  • Master: Give them Jesus by sharing the gospel through the material resources that Jesus gave you! Give them what you’ve been given by Him! SECRET INGREDIENT!!!
4.  “Who is invited?” Ministry Limited?
  • Time: For rest to end and return to work.
  • Place: Every man for himself in the desert. Jesus turns the parched place into a picnic in the park!
  • Relationship: The disciples anticipated communion with Jesus but not with the crowd.
  • Responsibility: The disciples are content for Jesus to send the crowd away, Jesus demands that the disciples feed them.
  • Cost:  Are we to spend what we have on these people?
5.  “Who is cooking?” Ministry Multiplied:
  • Jesus takes what the crowd has: Collected by the Disciples
  • Jesus organizes the crowd to receive what he gives: Administered by the disciples.
  • Jesus gives away what the crowd had: Blesses, Breaks, Gives: Distributed through the disciples.
  • Jesus satisfies the crowd through himself: The disciples collect the leftovers: More in the end that there was at the beginning! Plenty of Jesus for EVERYONE!
So What?
  • Acknowledge your hunger and ask Jesus to satisfy you! Get full!
  • Commit to Taste and eat while you prepare and serve others
  • Respond to the hunger pains around you! Who needs your help!
  • Serve them Jesus!
