Called to Do the Impossible: Living as Jesus’ Disciple

Nov 1, 2026  •  Wade Coffey

Have you ever felt like Jesus was asking you to do something you simply couldn’t do?

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus repeatedly calls people to do things beyond their natural abilities. In Mark 6, He tells His disciples to feed thousands of hungry people with resources that seem hopelessly insufficient. But what if Jesus wasn’t expecting them to accomplish the impossible through their own strength?

In this teaching, Wade explores how Jesus confronts our self-sufficiency and invites us into a completely different way of living. Through the feeding of the 5,000 we discover that Jesus doesn’t give us commands based on our abilities, but on His.

The Christian life was never meant to be lived through human effort alone. Through the Holy Spirit, God supplies what we need to participate in the life and mission Jesus has called us into.

What might change if we stopped measuring what’s possible by our own limitations and started learning to live from God’s resources?
