Mark 6:7, 13, 30-36, 45-47, 51, 53-56
“Rest”
Catch your breath! This Sunday is in between two weeks of kids here at the church enjoying summer camp. Last week we finished a sermon series, Letters from Paul. Next week we will begin a new 5-week series focused on John chapter 6. Here in the middle of summer, in the middle of camp, in the middle of sermon series we will rest.
The reading from Mark pulls lines from throughout chapter 6. We have added a few verses to the lectionary reading to square up the scene. The disciples and Jesus are exhausted and hungry. They have been healing people non-stop. They need sleep and a snack. Everywhere they go, someone wants their help.
This week, we explore hope, healing, and rest.
