Mark 6:1-56

Feb 19, 2023    Pastor Maggie Pate

This sermon explores the themes of disappointment, discomfort, and despair as they relate to following Jesus. Pastor Maggie uses three biblical stories - Jesus' rejection in his hometown, the disciples' discomfort while traveling, and Jesus walking on water - to illustrate how these experiences are inherent to a life of obedience. She then draws a parallel to God's theophany to Moses, highlighting how God's glory is revealed in the midst of these challenging moments. Pastor Maggie emphasizes that while these experiences can be difficult, they also serve as a path for God to reveal himself and transform us into reflections of his glory.
