Exactly How Did I Get Here? Part II
The Scripture for this final sermon is Mark 6:30-44. In this passage, Jesus recommends a time of rest and spiritual renewal for the disciples. The twelve had just returned from a mission during which they preached and healed. Jesus thought his closest followers needed a Sabbath, so he led them to a deserted place to recuperate. But Jesus’s planned retreat was interrupted because the crowds discovered where he was and packed the place. In this setting, Jesus demonstrates his compassion, showing himself to be the Good Shepherd as he cares for his people, sacrificing his own much-needed rest.

In God We Trust
Throughout the centuries, “trust in God” has been a frequent theme in our prayers, our hymns and our sacred songs. It is certainly a biblical theme as well. There are 182 references to “trust” in the Bible, and most of these refer to us placing our trust in God. In America, our money even proclaims “In God We Trust.” I invite you to join us for worship this weekend as we take a look at Psalm 105 and at the refrain, “In God We Trust.” Does that mean that we expect God will “fix” everything? What about free will? How should we really trust in God?
