1. ADMIT I HAVE AN UNSOLVABLE PROBLEM.
Mark 6:34-37a (NIV)
“When Jesus . . . saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them . . . so he began teaching them. By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came and said, ‘This is a remote place. Send the people away so they can go and buy something to eat.’ But Jesus answered, ‘You give them something to eat!’ They said, ‘That would take eight months of a man’s wages!’”
Three typical responses when we have an unsolvable problem in our life.
1. We Procrastinate
2. We Pass the Buck
3. We Worry
Question: Has God ever asked you to do something impossible?

4. EXPECT GOD TO MULTIPLY IT.
Mark 6:42-43 (Phillips Version)
“Everyone ate and had enough. Afterwards they collected 12 baskets full of . . . leftovers!”
Here’s the point and the big lesson: God likes to do miracles through people.
