  Mark 6:30-44 For many of us, we knew he demonstrated this quality when Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. But others also recognized that the servant leaders are to be in the frontier of ministering to the hurting world. The responses of Jesus gave us a model on how it is to be a servant leader in a hurting world.

    (37)
    • Jesus showed us that the provisions for the social ministry of the church to the world only needs availability to serve the people and it is God’s sole responsibility to provide.
    • Sometimes, a servant leader must be willing to sacrifice his personal priorities to attend to the needs of the hurting world.
    • “you give them something to eat” =  we are not to close our eyes in doing social work or ministerial service
    • Recall that this is our unchanging call!
