You love to take a different approach, don't you!

Uh oh!

We're going to look at four ways in which the problem of 5,000 hungry people could be solved? Which approach is not mentioned in John's gospel but is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke?

Sending the crowds away

Using outside caterers

Asking everyone to share what they'd got

Sponsorship

What does Philip do really, really well?

People skills

Compassion

Communication

Maths

Why did Jesus ask the question of Philip in the first place?

He wants to show him up

He wants him to grow up

To show Philip how little he knows

To see if Philip has got what it takes to be a disciple

via GIPHY

It's just so easy for you, isn't it!

via GIPHY

You prefer the indirect approach: it sometimes pays off!

What just happened here, anybody?

What does Jesus say after everyone has had enough to eat?

Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be left lying around

Throw away the pieces that are left over and let's go home

Gather the pieces that are left over. Keep them to remember what happened

Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted

Last quiz question then: what does Jesus do when the crowds want to make him king by force?

He gives in to them

He tells them why it wouldn't be a good idea

He gets out of there

He waits to see what moves they will make

When do you most feel judged by people (and most tempted to judge them back)?

via GIPHY

Well, that just about wraps things up wouldn't you say!

So how would you sum up anything God said to you today?

Are there any questions that you feel you need an answer to?
