Sending 12 - Feeding 5,000 (20 of 68)
Series: 30 A.D. The Jesus Story
Dr. Larry Osborne
Luke 9:1-17

THE STORY
Luke 9:1-17/ Matthew 14:13-21/ Mark 6:7-12 and 30-44/ John 6:1-14

A SECOND LOOK
Four Principles That Hugely Impact The Way
We Do Ministry Here At North Coast

1. Christianity is a team sport
Mark 6:7/ 3 John 9-10/ Hebrews 10:24-25/ Matthew 22:36-40/ John 13:35

- Ministry is not a sole proprietorship

- Spirituality is not a private relationship between "me and my God"

- When you read your Bible - read the word "you" as "you all"

2. Good starts don't guarantee happy endings
John 12:5-6, 13:29 / 1 John 2:3-5 / Luke 8:13-14 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-6/ Matthew 28:19-20

- Judas' start was so impressive they appointed him treasurer


3. Even Jesus and the Apostles needed a break
Matthew 11:28-30/ Matthew 23:4/ 1 Corinthians 12:14-27

- Not every need and opportunity has our name (or your name) on it

4. The guy who put up the "No Room In The Inn" sign
is not the hero of the story
Mark 6:31-34/ 1 Corinthians 9:19-27

- When God puts a need in front of you - do your best to meet it
