In this message, Pastor Troy Billow not only explains the account of Jesus's miracle of feeding five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, but explains how Jesus taught His disciples a valuable set of lessons before He made them leaders. In this situation, Jesus healed sick people and was drawing a crowd. The disciples tried to put the kibosh on the attraction Jesus was making in the interest of getting some food and going to sleep. They told Jesus that if he continues on much longer then they will have to feed the crowd. So Jesus told the disciples to get them something to eat. With only five loaves and two fish, they exerted the impossibility of such a task. So, Jesus instructed the disciples to divide people up into groups of 50, thanked God for the food, and distributed it to the 5000 people. Jesus is having the disciples participate in what He is doing so that by Him doing what seems impossible, and having the disciples engage in what seems impossible, YOU can do what seems impossible through Him. You cannot rely on you. You have to rely on the power of God, the Holy Spirit, and for God Himself to actually step in. You have to spend time with Jesus (to rejuvenate and revive), and come to the realization that you NEED Him to take care of the matters that you cannot. Faith attracts God's attention and it is in these "curve ball" circumstances that God lays out an example for you to follow, so that He can step in and take care of what appears to be an impossible situation.
