1. 'Where shall we buy bread?' (1-7)

Jesus wanted to feed the crowd; he also wanted to train his disciples in faith, so he asked this question to Philip. Philip calculated quickly and answered, 'Impossible!' He was not including Jesus' power or Jesus' shepherd heart in his calculations. He only thought about what he didn't have.

2. 'Here is a boy...' (8-9)

Jesus had asked, 'Where?' Andrew was looking around to see what they had. He found a small boy with a lunch box, and he brought him to Jesus. He knew that 5 loaves and 2 fish were not enough, but he brought what he had. He knew Jesus' heart and believed his power.

3. 'Have the people sit down' (10-13)

This required faith and hard work, for there were more than 5,000 people. Jesus then took Andrew's loaves and fish, gave thanks, and fed the crowd.

Application: Lord, give me the faith of Andrew to see your shepherd heart and bring what I have to you.
One Word: Offer your loaves and fish
