Drama at Christ's Company Picnic | Mark 6:30-45

The feeding of the 5,000, one of Jesus’s best-known miracles is often misunderstood—by us, but even by the disciples who witnessed it and participated in it! They think they are on a company retreat with their CEO, but Jesus miraculously challenges them to think about him in different terms: the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life. Those feeling starved in their Christian service and ministry, take heart! Your Shepherd feeds you!

God's Weekly Grace for the Rest of Us - Mark 2:23 - 3:6

Whether we’re spent from a 50+ hour week, trying to keep the house from falling apart or from having to constantly prove ourselves to family, we all could use more rest. In today’s passage, Jesus proves to be the King of rest, but his enemies are too preoccupied with the “law” of rest to marvel at the miraculous renewal he brings. Are they insane!? Probably, but so are we when we prefer to grind our lives away trying to win God’s love, when all we have to do is embrace what he has freely given us.

Psalm 110 - Jesus Christ: King and Priest
