Feast Bay Area Morning Bulletin for December 9, 2018

G
Winning the
Game of Money
BIG DAY
WHY DO YOU WORK SO HARD?
“When Jesus looked up and saw
a great crowd coming toward
him, he said to Philip, “Where
shall we buy bread for these
people to eat?” He asked this
only to test him, for he already
had in mind what he was going
to do. Philip answered him, “It
would take more than half a
year’s wages to buy enough
bread for each one to have a
bite!”
–John 6:5-7 NIV
OUR G series, Winning the Game of Money, comes to an
end today.
But your financial journey does not.
The journey is long, with many zigzags and bumpy
roads.
Are you ready? Your Feast Family will be right
here beside you.
Promise me that you’ll enjoy every step of the trip.
After all, why do we ride roller coasters and the
bumpy ride of banana boats? (And even pay to get
scared?)
Along the way, there will be many wonderful
lessons you must learn in this journey, from financial
literacy to financial psychology.
But in the end, more than growing your cash, God
wants you to grow your character. And I really believe
that if you keep doing the right thing, money will follow
at the right time.
Today, our Special Guest is none other than
my mentor, Rex Mendoza, author of the book, Firing
On All Cylinders. If you’re an employee,
entrepreneur, or investor, you need to listen
to him because he succeeded in each of
these roles.
Have a glorious Feast today!
May your dreams come true,
Personal Reflection
and Group Discussion:
• What is your gift? Can
you identify people who are
hungry for your gift?
• What little have you got
that can fill the hunger of the
people who need your gift?
Create your Grit Calendar
with mini-actions to reach
your goal.
• What obstacles did you
have to overcome to get your
calendared mini-action done?
Discuss with your Light Group.

GOD CAN DO A LOT WITH YOUR LITTLE
1
When Jesus looked up and saw a great
crowd coming toward Him, He said to
Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for
these people to eat?” He asked this
only to test him, for he already had in
mind what he was going to do. Philip
answered him, “It would take more than
half a year’s wages to buy enough bread
for each one to have a bite!” Another of
his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke
up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and
two small fish, but how far will they go among so
many?” –John 6:5-9
In essence, God doesn’t need anything or
anyone to make a miracle. But it’s good to reflect
on why He asked His disciples how they were going
to feed so many — even if He already knew what He
was going to do to begin with.
My thoughts? He wanted to involve everyone.
The miracle of feeding five thousand was just
secondary.
The real miracle was that a little boy cared a
little to give all that he had.
God wants us to get involved. He needs us
to care even just a little bit. To be a little kinder. To
be a little more compassionate. To be a little more
generous. Little acts become big when you put some
heart into it.
Today, we’ll learn how God can do a lot with
your little.
You will be blessed today.
In Him,
