The King's Provision

Have you ever run out of something important? Or thought something would run out, but it turned out to be enough? Share about that experience.

The disciples were expecting to take a break but ended up with a hectic day of ministry. How do you think they felt about that? What was the difference between how Jesus approached the crowd and how the disciples viewed them?

Why do you think Jesus challenged the disciples to give the crowd something to eat? What lesson did Jesus want the crowd to learn? What did He want the disciples to learn? What does He want us to learn from this passage?

Imagine walking through the crowd distributing food to 5,000 people (maybe 10,000 or 15,000, including women and children) and never running out. What would that tell you about Jesus? What would you learn about yourself? How would you feel sitting there with a full basket of leftovers at the end of the day?

How can we experience the modern version of this miracle today? What do we need to trust Jesus with to see Him multiply it? How can we offer what we have to Jesus, see Him multiply it, and have a “full basket” spiritually?
