Title: Jesus and Uncertainty
Passage: Luke 9:1-17
Speaker: Kevin Maloney

In this passage, Jesus works mightily in spite of human weakness and inability. He uses the lack of preparation and resources the disciples possessed to get the word of God to the king. He used five loaves and 2 fish to feed perhaps 20,000 people. The work of Jesus despite of human weakness is a common theme in the Gospels.


The Uniqueness of the Apostles - Luke 9:1-5

The apostles had a unique ministry that doesn’t have an exact equivalent today. Look at Acts 1:21-25 and try to discern what the requirements were to be an apostle.

The fact that the apostles’ work was done and the scriptures were established places authority for today in their writings, not in individual Christian leaders. How is it significant that the Bible is authoritative while Christian Pastors and teachers today are fallible?

How do we discern which passages of scripture were only for those circumstances (such as Luke 9:1-5) and which are for all people at all times?

Jesus Uses the Weakness of His People - Luke 9:6-9

Word got all the way up to King Herod even though the apostles went on what we would think was an ill-prepared mission. What does this tell you about how God builds his kingdom? What does God need from us to accomplish His work?

Jesus Provides for the 5000 - Luke 9:10-17

This story is told by all four Gospel writers. Read them over and see what unique details each author recounts. (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:31-44;Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-14).

Jesus often teached multiple truths at once. What are the main truths taught as Jesus performs this miracle in each Gospel?
