An impossible situation is an event in your life where you say “if something
bigger than me doesn’t come through, then I will not make it”

John 6:1-2 (ESV)
After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of
Tiberias. And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he
was doing on the sick.

John 21:25 (ESV)
Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were
every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not
contain the books that would be written.


John 6:3-4 (ESV)
Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. Now the
Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.


John 6:5-6 (ESV)
Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming
toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that
these people may eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.


John 6:7 (ESV)
Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii[a] worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.”


John 6:8-9 (ESV)
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?”


John 6:10 (ESV)
Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.


John 6:11 (ESV)
Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.


John 6:11-13 (ESV)
And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments,that nothing may be lost.” So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.

John 6:14-15 (ESV)
When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!” Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.


Implications
1.) When you encounter an impossible situation - you need to lean into what God is up to. Begin to seek Him through prayer and really listen to Him. Surround yourself with the stories of what God has done. (Bible & Life group) Keep your heart open to what God is up to.

2.) Identify who you are in this story
Do you see yourself as one of the disciples?
Do you see yourself as one of the believers in the crowd?
Do you see yourself as someone who is curious about who God is but have never put your faith in Him?
