"Sit With Me"

August 11, 2024 • Pastor Mason Harris • John 6:35, Luke 9:10–17, 1 Peter 3:15, John 6:44, 1 Corinthians 3:6

https://linktr.ee/virtualvh OPENING POINT: IF HEAVEN AND HELL ARE A REALITY THEN REACHING THE LOST HAS TO BE THE PRIORITY Luke 9:10-17 - 10 “When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus all that they had done. He took them along and withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida. 11 When the crowds found out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. 12 Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to him, “Send the crowd away, so that they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.” 13 “You give them something to eat,” he told them. “We have no more than five loaves and two fish,” they said, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.” 14 (For about five thousand men were there.) Then he told his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 They did what he said, and had them all sit down. 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 Everyone ate and was filled. They picked up twelve baskets of leftover pieces.” SERMON TITLE: “SIT WITH ME” 1. AS FOLLOWERS OF JESUS WE CAN’T SHIFT OUR RESPONSIBILITY Luke 9:12-13 - 12 Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to him, “Send the crowd away, so that they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.” 13 “You give them something to eat,” he told them. “We have no more than five loaves and two fish,” they said, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.” 1 Peter 3:15 - 15 “but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” 2. AN INVITATION TO “SIT WITH ME” IS AN INVITATION TO THE MIRACULOUS Luke 9:14-15 14 (For about five thousand men were there.) Then he told his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 They did what he said, and had them all sit down. John 6:44 - 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day. 3. WHEN YOU REACH OUT TO OTHERS KEEP YOUR SOURCE IN MIND Luke 9:16- 17 - 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 Everyone ate and was filled. They picked up twelve baskets of leftover pieces.” 1 Corinthians 3:6 - 6 “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” John 6:35 - 35 “I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty again.”

Go & Tell "The Mission of Fishing"

August 4, 2024 • Pastor Chad Hunt • Luke 5:8–10, John 4:1–9

https://linktr.ee/virtualvh Luke 5:8-10 - When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!” 9 For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. “Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people.” John 4:1-9 - When Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were), 3 he left Judea and went again to Galilee. 4 He had to travel through Samaria; 5 so he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property that Jacob had given his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, worn out from his journey, sat down at the well. It was about noon. 7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. “Give me a drink,” Jesus said to her, 8because his disciples had gone into town to buy food. 9 “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” she asked him. For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. Luke 5:8-10 - When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!” 9 For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. “Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people.” If You Want to Follow, You Have to Fish John 4:9 “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” she asked him. For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. 2 Fishing Means Sharing Jesus in the Right Spaces and Places John 4:27-28a Just then his disciples arrived, and they were amazed that he was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?” 28 Then the woman left her water jar, went into town... 1 It’s Impossible to Embrace the Savior and Still Be Empty John 4:28-29 Then the woman left her water jar, went into town, and told the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” Hope-Filled People Can't Help but Bring Hope to Others
