The Gospel of Mark moves along quickly. If you pause for a moment and take some consideration, you could easily be left behind. Following Jesus is not a philosophical quest, or even academic. Instead, it is relational and is made of simple and spontaneous acts of obedience. Let’s introduce Mark with a call to follow quickly.
Jesus did not come to receive- but rather to give. In today’s passage we will learn to look beyond the excitement of miracles and see the life changing gifts of Jesus. Through faith in Jesus we can live lives of total forgiveness, fulfillment and freedom!
We may want to stay at the surface of Christianity with all its excitement (The Shallow), or join the chorus of criticism (The Critic), but to be a discipler of disciples is what following Jesus has always been about (The Follower).
In the midst of a real, life-threatening challenge, the disciples turned to Jesus for help. Yet, Jesus responded by gently rebuking their lack of faith. This morning we will move quickly from a concept to practical application.
By way of Jesus’ feeding the five thousand, I want us to be challenged to give all that we have to Jesus to be used for his service.

In one of the more intriguing passages in the Gospels, Jesus makes mention of some very dramatic future events. Let’s take this passage and answer, "how we are to live today knowing we are in the last days?"

A follower of Jesus gives faithfully to their church, a local ministry, to family and friends, and even to strangers. Followers of Jesus even give when it seems an awkward thing to do. Let’s expand our understanding of giving and produce a little awkwardness ourselves.

The physical sufferings of Jesus have been, and remain, a window through which we see his heart- the heart of God (says R. Kent Hughes.) This is what we hope to see as we consider "The Revelation of the Cross."\
