What did you have to trust Jesus to provide for you this week?

 

 

What’s the best bread you’ve ever eaten?

 

 

Read Mark 6:30-44 and Mark 8:1-10.  What stands out to you about these stories?  What are the similarities and differences between these two events?  What is Jesus trying to reveal about Himself through this miracle?  If you were one of the disciples, what would your response have been?  If you were in the crowd, how would receiving the bread change your life?

 

 

What other instances of bread do you know about in the Bible?  How do they foreshadow this miracle?  How might they be connected to the Lord’s Supper?

 

 

Read John 6:26-35, 51-58.  What do you think happened in the heart of the people?  In what ways have you personally seen the movement from seeking Jesus for what He gives, to seeking Him for who He is?  Who in your life needs to know the difference?

 

 

Spend some time praying declaring trust in Christ’s provision for both daily physical needs and spiritual hunger.  Ask that He reveal who He has placed in your life so that they will see His power to satisfy sufficient living.
