10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done.
Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him.
He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.”
14 (About five thousand men were there.)
But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down.
16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them.
Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people.
17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

Sermon Title: God is Faithful to Provide
All cards on the table.
I’m fearful of making this about me.
God’s provision is a deeply personal topic for us.
First generation American.
Parents came to the states in 1979.
Have an ethic of hard work.
Worked my way through college.
Met my wife at CFNI.
Married for 10 years we have always both worked.
We own a studio salon.
Lauren is a mom and a business owner.
2018:
It was easy to rely on our giftings.
Early 2017, began to sense a shift.
The Lord was dealing with me.
I was physically present as a husband and father but was emotionally and spiritually absent.
Through counseling… the Lord began to deal with issues in my life that I was unwilling to touch—fatherhood issues.
December 2017: Decided to take a step of faith out of obedience to the Lord’s leading and leave a job I loved (place of affirmation).
One income.
What I thought was going to be 4 months turned to 12 months.
January: Major shifts in the salon—our only source of income.
We knew the Lord was in the midst of it but we were uncertain/fearful if we were going to be able to make it.
February-May: We walked through an education assessment season with Cru and a salon remodel—spent money we were not expecting to spend.
There were many nights I would be up in the middle of the night asking/pleading with God to increase my son’s capacity to learn to speak.
May: House broken in to and had quite a bit taken from us.
We were in despair.
June: The Lord was gracious to provide somewhat of a reprieve through the World Cup and God provided through friends an ability for us to go to Sea World for Cru’s birthday and Vail, CO on a family vacation.
Joy abounded as I delighted in my boys!
I registered to Lyft.
Yet, didn’t feel at peace about switching my status to ON.
August-October: Difficult season of interviews that resulted in no job/income, calling was being tested, giftings were being tested.
Our community rallied around us as frustration and thoughts of feeling misunderstood abounded.
Alright Lord you gotta do something!
November-December: Finances came down to the wire.
It was the beginning of December and I was frantically thinking who could let us borrow money.
January: Received a check from family land that was sold.
Through it all we saw the Lord’s provision, help and peace.

Don’t neglect that the crowd, they would have come from a wide cross-section of Galilean society.

would have come from a wide cross-section of Galilean society.
Farmers, fishermen, and homemakers as well as would have made up the largest portion of this crowd.
The fact that it was a deserted/desolate/remote (v.
12) place means that there was no possibility to be selective of the guest list.
He welcomed them all, he spoke to them, and healed them.
Luke is making a point to look forward to the end time reality that will all one day tak
He has once and for all broken down the barriers of socioeconomic status, race, color, political affiliation, etc.
