Frozen – Part 1

UNFREEZE YOUR POTENTIAL 

1. See The Need

Mark 6:34 - "When Jesus ... saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them ... so he began teaching them. [35] By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him and said, `This is a remote place. [36] Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and buy themselves something to eat.' [37] But Jesus answered, `You give them something to eat!' They said to him, `That would take eight months of a man's wages!'" 

Needs Will Never Be Met By ... 

• Procrastinating - “By this time it was late in the day...”

• Passing The Buck - “Send the people away!”

• Worrying - “It would take 8 months of wages!”

2. See Your Gifts

Mark 6:38 - "`How many loaves do you have?' Jesus asked, `Go and see.' When they found out, they said, `Five small loaves of bread and two fish.'"

John 6:6 - "Jesus asked this only to test them, for he already had in mind what he was going to do."

3. See How To Give 

Mark 6:41 - "Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish ... 

He blessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people..."The boy gave what he had ... willingly, cheerfully and immediately.

4. See God’s Abundant Blessings

Mark 6:42 - After everyone had eaten all they wanted, [43] Jesus' disciples picked up twelve large baskets of leftover bread and fish.

Mark 10:27 - "All things are possible with God."
