Conversation Starters

1. Read Mark 6:30-56.

2. Imagine what it would have been like for Jesus’ disciples to be asked to feed 5,000 men and to see Jesus walking on the water. How do you think you would feel? How would you respond?

3. What do you think Mark is trying to reveal about Jesus’ identity from these stories?

4. Is Jesus asking you to trust him for provision and direction in ways that are difficult for you? What are those areas and what would it look like to follow him by trusting?

– Our Shepherd invites us

– Our Shepherd satisfies us

God does not have a shortage of anything you can think of… We see it when Jesus multiplied the bread and the fishes. How much did they have left over? Twelve baskets! God is not stingy. He dwells in magnificent abundance, and lovingly provides for our needs out of that abundance. God is not worried that he is going to run out of something… He is overflowing with everything that is good and everything we need… God loves to just gush forth with his goodness. Nothing so delights him as giving to anyone and everyone who will receive. ~ Dallas Willard, Life without Lack
