2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this show me about God?

   • Jesus feeds thousands from almost nothing, with baskets left over. What does that tell you about him?

2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

   • A boy hands over his whole lunch. What does it feel like to give away all of something small?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • What small thing will you offer God this week — your time, your help, your lunch?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is hungry, in any sense, near you? What do you have to share?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
