Platform

Scripture: Luke 5:1-3

Jesus was trying to teach the people about the kingdom of God.  They crowded around Him. They were pushing and shoving in order to get close to Him. Jesus needed a platform to speak from. He asked Peter if He could use Peter's boat for a platform. Peter was quite willing for Him to use it. Are we willing to let our things be used when He needs them for reaching people with the gospel? Sometimes we need to let our homes be used for Bible studies or literacy classes.

Questions:
1. What were the people doing?
Crowding around Jesus and listening to Him teaching the word of God.
2. Why did Jesus use Peter's boat?
So that all the people could hear Him.
3. How can we use our property to spread the Gospel?
We can be generous and lend our property if it could be used to spread the Gospel.


Memory verse: Matthew 4:23
Jesus traveled throughout Galilee teaching in the synagogues, preaching everywhere the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed people who had every kind of sickness and disease. (NLT)
