Phillip asked Jesus where they would get food to feed so many. Phillip asked what is five loaves and 2 fish for so many. Jesus took 5 loaves and 2 fish and fed five thousand. There were 12 baskets left. Jesus took a little and made it more than enough. He provides.

Growing pains hurt. Believers are called to move past the elementary things of faith and mature. If we do not grow, something is wrong.

When we are born again, God gives us the Holy Spirit. God also gives a variety of spiritual gifts. We should desire the gifts He wishes to give us.

God is greater than anything. In Greek the word "greater" means mega. There is nothing that compares. There is nothing competes for glory, worship and praise for Him.

We must pray without ceasing and doing spiritual warfare. Just like Daniel, he prayed for 21 days before his prayer was answered. We must do spiritual warfare and do not grow weary. Never give up.

God is holy. The closer we draw near to God the more our impurities burn off. He will not allow unholiness to approach Him. We must be willing to confess our sins, open and secret. We must seek holiness.

It's time that the Church is the light. We must show the world the light of Jesus. We have been silent for too long. The world has not seen the power of God in our lives. It's time that others see the greatness of our God.

God is jealous for us. He wants all of our love and devotion. He is faithful to us and desires us to be faithful to him. No cheating. He is also jealous for His namesake. He will not allow anything to come against His namesake.

What is a hedge? A hedge is a type of protection. How do we lose our hedge and what can we do to build and maintain it?

As Christians we have the Holy Spirit living within us. However, we spend most of our lives living as Clark Kent not letting out the Holy Spirit, in this case superman. If we do not spend private time (phone booth) with the Holy Spirit, we do not have power in our lives to help anyone including ourselves.
