pass it on...

We find Jesus in the beginning of John chapter six being interrupted by the masses while He sought to spend some focused time with His disciples…

Discipleship – an ongoing process of conditioning steps that move one towards spiritual maturity.

Let’s share about our week…

Were you tested this week? SHARE an example…OUTLOUD!

Budget – finances, plan, funds, resources, accounts, arrangements.

Have someone read -- John 6:5-7

Was Philip faced with an arrangement challenge?

What was Philip’s need? calculator or compass?

Worldview – the established understanding that one has about the culture and world in which they live.

Have someone read – John 6:15

Why would Jesus withdraw to a mountain by Himself?

Was it wrong for the Jews to want Jesus as their king?

James 1:2-4

2) Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, (3) because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
(4) Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Should I expect trials when revealing the good news of my changed life…

Does my community see a faithful compass or skeptical calculator in me…?

According to Scripture, is Jesus subject [slave] to the world? (Romans 5:8)

If so, how can He deal with man’s sin?

Will I face the trials, point to God, and worship Jesus as Lord?

The Good News… WILL I PASS IT ON?
