JESUS IS LIFE | 05.17.26 | JUSTIN KENDRICK

RESUMO DO SERMÃO
In Mark 6, Jesus feeds the five thousand and walks on water, revealing far more than His power to perform miracles. The crowd wanted a revolutionary king to overthrow Rome, but Jesus came as the true Shepherd sent by God to lead a deeper revolution — one that frees people from sin, fear, and spiritual emptiness. Through these miracles, Jesus invites His disciples to see life from a higher perspective and to join Him in this revolution.

The sermon challenged us to recognize that through testing, inadequacy, and ordinary obedience, God teaches us what we truly need most: Himself. The feeding of the five thousand ultimately points forward to the cross, where Jesus became the Bread of Life for us. His body was broken so that our deepest hunger could finally be satisfied in Him

COMO UTILIZAR ESTE GUIA DE DISCUSSÃO
À medida que conduz a discussão, seguimos um quadro de discipulado que nos ajuda a passar da aprendizagem à transformação:
Mente → Coração → Mãos → Partilhar → Verificação
Lembrete para o líder: Há várias perguntas em cada secção. Os líderes devem preparar-se com antecedência e usar o discernimento para escolher as perguntas que melhor se adequam ao seu grupo. O objetivo desta discussão não é apenas a conversa, mas sim a transformação. Incentive a participação, a honestidade e a obediência prática.
