Who is this King of Glory: Week 4: Jesus Feeds the 5000

Show Notes

Join us for a six-week study called "Who is This King of Glory?" as we encounter the glory of Jesus in our everyday lives.

Scripture Highlight:  

When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Matthew 14:13-21

Reflection Questions: 

Is there something in your life you’re clinging to, an “only,” that God is asking you to give to Him? 

Is there hesitation in releasing it to Him? If so, why?

Prayer

Lord, I thank you for being faithful to reveal Your glory. I pray that You would help me pursue You when I feel myself clinging to those “only” things in my life. God, I bring all that I have to You. I trust You and have faith in You. I relinquish control, knowing that in Your hands, my “only” is multiplied abundantly more than I can imagine. I will remind myself of the “only” You sacrificed when You gave me Jesus (John 3:16). Your word says that if I seek You, I will lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10) and that You will meet all my needs according to the riches of Your glory (Philippians 4:19). I claim these promises in Your word over my life. In Jesus' name, amen.
