SCRIPTURES:
Matthew 15: 32-39 (NASB):
And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way." The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?" And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish." And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces: seven large baskets full. And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. And He sent the crowds away, and got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.

Mark 8: 1-13 (NASB):
In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus summoned His disciples and said to them, "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me for three days already and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance." And His disciples replied to Him, "Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?" And He was asking them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven." And He directed the people to recline on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve, and they served them to the people. They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them, He told the disciples to serve these as well. And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces. About four thousand men were there; and He dismissed them. And He immediately got into the boat with His disciples and came to the region of Dalmanutha. And the Pharisees came out and begin to argue with Him, demanding from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him. Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation!" And leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.

Key Takeaways:

• Jesus' Compassion Extends to All Needs
• God's Provision is Abundant
• Gratitude Precedes Miracles
• God Often Works Through Us
• Faith Requires Trust, Not Proof

Matthew 15: 21-28 (NASB)
Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely demon-possessed.’ But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, ‘Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us!’ But He answered and said, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’ But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, ‘Lord, help me!’ Yet He answered and said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’ And she said, ‘Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus said to her, ‘O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.’ And her daughter was healed at once.

Mark 7: 24-30 (NASB)
Now Jesus got up and went from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know about it; and yet He could not escape notice. But after hearing about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician descent. And she repeatedly asked Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. And He was saying to her, ‘Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’ But she answered and said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children’s crumbs.’ And He said to her, ‘Because of this answer, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.’ And after going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

Key Takeaways:

• Faith transcends boundaries.
• Persistence in prayer.
• Humility before God.
• God’s mercy is inclusive.
• Small acts of faith yield great outcomes.

Matthew 14:34-36 (NASB)
And when they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding region and brought to Him all who were sick; and they pleaded with Him that they might just touch the border of His cloak; and all who touched it were cured.

Mark 6:53-56 (NASB)
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and anchored there. And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized Him, and ran about that entire region and began carrying here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to wherever they heard He was. And wherever He entered villages, cities, or the countryside, they were laying the sick in the marketplaces, and imploring Him that they might just touch the border of His cloak; and all who touched it were healed.

Key Takeaways:

• Jesus’ healing power is available to all who come to Him with genuine faith
• Collective faith in a community can draw people closer to God and result in miracles
• Jesus responds with compassion to those who earnestly seek Him

Matthew 14: 22-33 (NASB)
Immediately He compelled the disciples to get into the boat and to go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. But the boat was already many stadia away from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter responded and said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are truly God’s Son!”

Mark 6: 45-52 (NASB)
And immediately Jesus had His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He Himself dismissed the crowd. And after saying goodbye to them, He left for the mountain to pray. When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night, He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out; for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.” Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished, for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

John 6: 16-21 (NASB)
Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. In addition, the sea began getting rough, because a strong wind was blowing. Then, when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat; and they were frightened. But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” So they were willing to take Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

Key Takeaways:

• Jesus is aware of our struggles, even when we do not see Him
• Faith requires us to step out of our comfort zones and trust in Jesus
• Doubts and fears can arise when we take our focus off Christ, but He is always ready to save us
• Jesus’ presence brings peace and calm, even in the midst of storms
• Recognizing Jesus as Lord changes our perspective and strengthens our faith
