Talk about feeling like whats left over.
Yea yea I know God wants us to be royalty and I believe that…but maybe just not me
Yea yea I know god wants us to be royalty and I believe that…but maybe just not me
Maybe I am the left over pieces in the Lego box.
I wasn't actually meant for a purpose like the other pieces.
I’m just an afterthought.
Elephant story
circus elephant as baby tied with small rope to nail.
As a baby this is enough to keep him from running off but as a full grown elephant could easily break the tie that holds him back.
But they don't because they have grown believing they cant.
How many of us are living like this elephant?
We are holding on to a belief of ourselves that is less than our ability.
Maybe even it was true at one point but it isn't anymore yet we are living out our life according to it.
This was the aim of Royalty.
That God has called us more than what we call ourselves.
We are Kings and Priests.
We are royalty.
We are hybrids.
But maybe even though that was the aim again I wonder if you are like me and struggle with really believing this beyond others and believing it for yourself.
Maybe god did call everyone Royalty but maybe just not me.
Maybe I’m lacking
Maybe I’m not enough
Maybe when God looks at me he just sees what is left over.
Can you relate?
But like the elephant we have the calling.
We have the ability-we just don’t know it.

Remember we know the ending but they didnt
I know we feel we are what is
left over
but that is okay because tonight we are going to learn that God is a God of leftovers!
Within this story God is declaring that we are not just what was left over and insignificant or not enough.
He is a God of more than enough.
We are his people- a people of more than enough.
From Left Over to Leftovers
pray: as we go back in the text give us fresh insight and understanding
reread and go in depth now

Passover purpose
Remember the passover was celebration of remembrance of the children of Israel who believed God and entrusted their life to him by placing the blood of a slain lamb on their doorposts as the angel of God passed over.
During the Passover celebration the people would make sacrifices.
One of the sacrifices was the first fruit or what was ready to be harvested first.
this was the barley
Its interesting to note that this passover celebration was a time of huge feast and vs 4 notes that the passover feast was near.
There was supposed to be a feast soon yet we are reading a story of hunger.
Have you ever felt what was supposed to be was not what you were experiencing?
God has called us royalty but yet we fill less than qualified.
We fill left over-insufficient-insignificant.
John 6:5
vs 5 in the other gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) say that after a full day of listening to Jesus the people were hungry and so we see this conversation take place.

John 6:6
When we are moving from a place of believing we are just whats left over to a place where we are leftovers we need to #1 realize there are answers to the test
1| There Are Answers To The Test
God doesn’t look at you and say
“Man I really need people to hear about me at Blaine's school but i forgot to give him the ability to talk!”
“O man I wish I would have given them more money.
Then they could actually do something important.”
He says I created you.
I know you.
I made you intentionally.
You have all you need.
You got this because I got this!
When we are moving from a place of believing we are just whats left over to a place where we are leftovers we need to #2 realize who judges significance
2| Who Judges Significance
Philip and Andrew chime in there is nothing here of use.
Just some kid with this insignificant meal- if you can even call it that.
this kid had a barley loaf.
Barely in this time went from the first fruit passover sacrifice to being associated with the poor
Barley was even associated with horse feed
aka barley=not signifcant
The kid had only 5 loaves and 2 fish.
the barley loaves weren't like big french rolls but like
cheezeits
not enough
ironically though what they deemed as nothing was still more than what anyone else had.
In fact this boys lunch would not have even been notice unless there was a need.
don't let the devil convince you you don't have enough.
no matter where you are at you still have more than him!
John 6:10
I love Jesus’s response.
He doesn't say you are right that's so little but I’ll do something with it.
No he doesn't even acknowledge their thought
He never saw something to overcome.
It was deemed insignificant to him.
They saw limitation.
He saw abundance.
He saw leftovers.
When we are moving from a place of believing we are just what’s left over to a place where we are leftovers we have to realize #3 God counts what is countable
3| Count What’s Countable
Jesus wanted to make clear something significant was going to happen.
He made them count the people to see what was going to be done this “insignificant meal”
