Sermon Notes

- When demands out strip Supply!

Sermon Notes: When demands out strip Supply! John 6:1-15. 1: The Compassionate heart of Jesus. Jesus had every reason to be frustrated with the crowd who won’t give Him a minute’s peace, but we get an insight into Jesus’ heart and feelings. We’re told in the other Gospel accounts regarding the same event, that He had ‘compassion’ on them, because He saw them as sheep without a shepherd. There are people in this crowd in John 6 with broken hearts, broken homes, broken hopes, broken dreams, and so when Jesus saw these people, it stirred such strong feelings and passion within Him.

- John Chapter 4:4-26.

Sermon Notes – John Chapter 4:4-26. Imagine if JESUS was waiting here in St. Paul’s just to speak to you….What kind of ‘aches’ and ‘longings’ would He find in your heart today?
