A. The disciples saw the need.

B. They brought the need to Jesus together.

C. The disciples offered what little they had.

D. Jesus multiplied what little they had.

E. The community was tremendously impacted.

1. IMPACT on self.

2. IMPACT on one another as a team.

3. IMPACT on their community.

Why minister together?

1. Jesus encourages us and gives us boldness. Heb. 10:24-25

2. Jesus causes us to model good actions when we do it together.

3. Jesus uses our varying gifts.

4. Relationships happen – shared experiences happen.

Application: We, too, can do A,B,C,D, and E.

Recognize the need…offer it to Jesus…let Him multiply it!
