Sermon Title: “Lessons from the Fish and Bread”
Sermon Text: John 6:1-14
Read John 6:1-14, and write in the space below your immediate impression of the passage; what does this passage make you think and feel?
The sermon, after making summary textual observations, gives four main points that the pastor wanted to convey. The first is this: “God Cares and Provides.” Give a summary of this point, writing what you can remember the sermon said and Scripture passages used to make this point. Write your response in the space below.
In the second point, “Our Weakness, God’s Strength”, the sermon focused on the part of the Scripture text where Jesus seems to push the disciples to the point of admitting they could not solve the problem (feeding this multitude). The sermon argued that Jesus does this for a special reason. Write in the space below what that reason is, and how does this relate to 2 Corinthians 12:9-10?
In the third point, “Jesus is the Focus of our Need and Hope”, the sermon asserts that the miracle pointing to Jesus shows that Jesus is the One we need. The gospel points to Jesus as the Savior and Lord, and we need Him more than anything. The sermon referred to John 6:14 and the response of the people to Jesus. Paraphrase what this verse means in the space below.
The sermon urges the hearer to fix our mental and spiritual gaze on Christ. Scripture was given in the sermon to help drive home the point. Give the Scripture found in the sermon that helps us think about fixing our eyes on Jesus. Explain how the sermon helped us to do that. Write your answer in the space below.
Finally, in the fourth point (“Our Greatest Extremity is God’s Glorious Opportunity”), the sermon pushes the hearer to remember that life’s great problems is an opportunity to engage God. List some of the ways life’s problems help us spiritually to come to God and experience God for ourselves. Write your answer in the space below.
