Sermon based on John 6.9-14 at Reconciliation Metropolitan Community Church, Grand Rapids MI by Rev. Steph Maxson, Pastor.
Based on the book "Every Day Deserves a Chance" by Max Lucado
God is Able
[God] is able to accomplish
infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or think
(Eph. 3:20 NLT).
God is able to provide you
with every blessing in abundance…
(2 Cor. 9:8 RSV).
Since he himself has gone
through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tempted
(Heb. 2:18 NLT).
He is able, once and forever,
to save everyone who comes to God through him
(Heb. 7:25 NLT).
God…is able to keep you from
stumbling, and…will bring you into his glorious presence innocent of sin and
with great joy (Jude 1:24 NLT).
[God] is able even to subdue
all things to Himself (Ph. 3:21NKJV).
[God] is able to guard what I
have entrusted to him until the day of his return
(2 Tim. 1:12 NLT).
“There's a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But
that's a
drop in the bucket for a crowd like this." … Then Jesus took the bread and,
having given thanks, gave it to those who were seated. He did the same
with
the fish. All ate as much as they wanted. When the people had eaten their
fill,
he said to his disciples, "Gather the leftovers so nothing is
wasted." They went
to work and filled twelve large baskets with leftovers from the five
barley
loaves. The people realized that God was at work among them…”
(Jn. 6:9-14 MSG)
