POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP John 6.1-15 Dr. Gordon Dabbs John 6.2 (ESV) A large crowd was following Him, because they saw the signs that He was doing on the sick. Jesus had gone viral. But the people aren't coming to repent. They're coming to see what He'll do next. Then comes the problem: the crowd gets hungry. John 6.5 (ESV) “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” John 6.6 (ESV) He [Jesus] said this to test him [Philip], for He Himself knew what he would do. Jesus is going to test me… stretch me… If I'm too comfortable or too inflexible, I short-circuit the transformation Jesus brings. John 6.9 (ESV) There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many? Jesus invites us to bring what little we have and watch Him multiply it beyond imagination. John 6.15 (ESV) 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. They tried to hijack his mission — so He left. Want Jesus to step back? Start treating Him like a sidekick to your kingdom. He doesn't stick around for that. Four hungers: • I hunger to see as Jesus sees. • I hunger to feel as Jesus feels. • I hunger to give like Jesus gives. • I hunger to join the work that only Jesus can do. When you partner with Jesus, the results are always bigger than your effort. Trust Him to do what only He can do.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

The Savior's Standard Dr. Jacob Hawk Human nature seeks the least required. We want the bottom line. It's easy to adopt that same mindset toward faith. Matthew 18 unveils “The Savior's Standard” of forgiveness. It stretches our understanding and challenges our commitment, but it builds relationships that soar. Key Verses: - Matthew 18:21-35 - Galatians 6:10 Matthew 18:21-35 NIV Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him.Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.“At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,' he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.'The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded.“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.'“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.“Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,' he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?'In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” Galatians 6:10 NIV Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

TIME TO STRETCH Mark 2.13-27 Mark 2.15 (NLT) …Many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. Mark 2.16-17 (NLT) When the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, "Why does he eat with such scum?" When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners." Jesus calls us to be stretchy. To be learners. To stay soft. To grow. Matthew 4.18-22 (ESV) While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. 1 Peter 2.2 (NLT) Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment… Jesus didn't come to build a fan club. He came to build a movement. Am I willing to be stretched? Am I open to change? Am I open to growth? Am I open to seeing the world—and myself—through God's eyes? The Gospel doesn't require us to be perfect. It does require us to stretch.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

Watch this message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D. and discover how God uses us, together, to share His story with the world. About the series. . .

Why do churches need strong spiritual leaders? The elders/shepherds who lead the church care for the souls of church members and provide prayerful leadership to the flock. In this message from Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we discover what the New Testament teaches about the need for shepherds and the responsibilities that the flock (church) has with respect to their leaders.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise
