The little you have is always enough, if you put it in God's hands

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In Mark chapter 6, Jesus performs the miracle of multiplying loaves and fish to feed a large crowd. The message here is that the few resources we have, when placed in the hands of God and blessed by Him, are always enough to fulfill His purposes. The speaker shares personal experiences of serving in Honduras during a hurricane and a daughter receiving a scholarship to Yale after serving in a remote area. He also asks for prayer for his country and for his work with World Vision International. The message is to always trust in God and give Him our resources to use for His glory.

I'm going to share something very brief from the word. It's in Mark chapter 6 and I think it's very appropriate in the context of what we're celebrating. It is something that many of us know when Jesus did the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves. It is in Mark, chapter 6, verses 30 to 44, which is what we are going to read tonight.

“…Then the Apostles met with Jesus and told him what they had done and what they had taught. He told them, “Come aside to a deserted place and rest a while,” because there were many who came and went so that they did not even have time to eat. And they went away alone in a boat to a deserted place, but many saw them go and recognized him, and many went there on foot from the cities and arrived before them and joined him. And Jesus went out and saw a great crowd and had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. When the hour was very late, his disciples approached him saying, "The place is deserted and the hour is already very late. Send them away so that they can go to the surrounding fields and villages and buy bread because they have nothing to eat."
