The Impossible...No Problem

Click here to download the sermon as we continue in John 6:1-15.

A recap of the sermon from Sunday, March 18th (John 6:1-15):

1. God uses impossible situations in our lives to build our trust in His ability to meet our needs.

2. God uses impossible situations in our lives to help us see that our resources are not enough.

3. Jesus illustrates the “priesthood of the believer” (see 1 Peter 2:1-10). Even as Jesus involved the disciples in ministry by distributing the bread and fish through them to the people, so He expects us to be involved in meaningful ministry in the lives of others.

4. When we are faced with an overwhelming need or an “unsolvable problem,” we must:
-Realize our inadequacy
-Take our eyes off the little we have and fix our eyes on the great God we have
-Ask first, not “what do I have or can I do,” but “what can God do if I’ll trust Him”
