Do we really need to learn to walk on water, or what is the message in the story of Jesus coming to his disciples walking on water, Peter stepping out of the boat and ultimately sinking?
By feeding 5000 with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish Jesus shows us how much we are part of God’s mission in this world. We might not think that we have what it needs, but Jesus isn’t asking for what we don’t have, only for what we have.
In the parable of the weeds among the wheat Jesus is teaching us not to judge prematurely. Many thanks to Eric Howe playing the organ and Lynne Ogren for enhancing our worship appearance through her beautiful song.
God is recklessly wasteful when it comes to grace. What farmer or gardener would sow seeds on rocks, pathways, and into briars? Wasteful, right? But God does the very thing with the word of grace and love. God never gives up on anyone, ever.
