Securing Your Future By Investing In Your Present

Mark 6:30-44

Back To The Future Series

You limit what can happen in your future by failing to invest in your present.

Negative attitudes about the present that hinder our future:

Not being prepared to face the future because you eat up everything in the present.

“Jesus said to them, ‘How many loaves do you have? Go see.’ And when they found out they said, ‘Five, and two fish”. Mark 6:38

Not understanding that God invest in you, for you to invest in others.

Not investing in present because you were not in charge of how the future unfolds.

Believing that you can come to Christ empty handed with no investment from your life.

Believing that it’s better investing in other things rather than Christ and His mission.

“Send them away, that they may go into surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread” Mark 6:36

Believing that the little you have today is not enough to secure the future.

You don’t believe the power of Christ can transform your present to multiply your future.

“And when He had taken the five loaves and two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish he divided among them all.  So they all ate and were filled.” Mark 6:41-42 

“And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish” Mark 6:43
