經文：[馬太福音14：13-21] 13 耶穌聽見了，就上船從那裡獨自退到野地裡去。衆人聽見，就從各城裡步行跟隨他。 14 耶穌出來，見有許多的人，就憐憫他們，治好了他們的病人。 15 天將晚的時候，門徒進前來說，這是野地，時候已經過了。請叫衆人散開，他們好往村子裡去，自己買喫的。 16 耶穌說，不用他們去，你們給他們喫吧。 17 門徒說，我們這裡衹有五個餅，兩條魚。 18 耶穌說，拿過來給我。 19 於是吩咐衆人坐在草地上。就拿著這五個餅，兩條魚，望著天，祝福，掰開餅，遞給門徒。門徒又遞給衆人。 20 他們都喫，竝且喫飽了。把賸下的零碎收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。 21 喫的人，除了婦女孩子，約有五千。 [約翰福音6：1-15] 1 這事以後，耶穌渡過加利利海，就是提比哩亞海。 2 有許多人，因爲看見他在病人身上所行的神跡，就跟隨他。 3 耶穌上了山，和門徒一同坐在那裡。 4 那時猶太人的逾越節近了。 5 耶穌擧目看見許多人來，就對腓力說，我們從哪裡買餅叫這些人喫呢？ 6 他說這話，是要試騐腓力。他自己原知道要怎樣行。 7 腓力廻答說，就是二十兩銀子的餅，叫他們各人喫一點，也是不夠的。 8 有一個門徒，就是西門彼得的兄弟安得烈，對耶穌說， 9 在這裡有一個孩童，帶著五個大麥餅，兩條魚。衹是分給這許多人，還算什麽呢？ 10 耶穌說，你們叫衆人坐下。原來那地方的草多，衆人就坐下。數目約有五千。 11 耶穌拿起餅來，祝謝了，就分給那坐著的人。分魚也是這樣，都隨著他們所要的。 12 他們喫飽了，耶穌對門徒說，把賸下的零碎，收拾起來，免得有糟蹋的。 13 他們便將那五個大麥餅的零碎，就是衆人喫了賸下的，收拾起來，裝滿了十二個籃子。   信息大綱: 一、神知道我們所有的需要   二、神挑戰我們的信心成長   　　 1、責任和信靠   　 2、腓利和安德烈的信心   三、神的責任和我們的責任   　　 1、把自己所有的給神   　　 2、奉獻是出於信心的行動   　　 3、神能把我們的所有變成對衆人的祝福   　　 4、神在尋找關鍵的少數以西結書22：30 “我在他們中間尋找一人重脩牆垣，在我麪前爲這國站在破口防堵，使我不滅絕這國，卻找不著一個。”   四、主耶穌是生命的糧     Travis Christian Assembly Sunday Sermon September 8 2013 Theme: Our Faith and God's Power: Miracle of the Five Loaves and Two Fish Speaker: Pastor Ruth   Bible Verses Matthew 14 13 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.” 16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” 17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. 18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.   John 6 1 Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. 3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. 4 The Jewish Passover Festival was near. 5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” 6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. 7 Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages[a] to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!” 8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, 9 “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. 12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.   Outline 1. God Knows All Our Needs 2. God Challenges The Growth of Our Faith a) Trust and responsibility b) The faith of Philip and Andrew 3. Man's Duty and God's Responsibility a) Give to God all we have b) Giving is an action out of faith c) God turns what we have into a blessing of multitude d) God is looking for the important few Ezekiel 22:30 “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. 4. Lord Jesus is The Bread of Life
