A few reminders for this week June 17, 2024 to June 23, 2024

FROM THE MINISTER’S DESK

And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?’ (Mark 4:41) All the disciples in the boat that day know the portion of the 107th Psalm that speaks of sailors on the sea in the midst of a great storm. “They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their calamity; they reeled and staggered like drunkards, and were at their wits’ end. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out from their distress; he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.” (Psalm 107:26-29) When the disciples express their wonder regarding Jesus, they know that it is God who stills storms and hushes waves.
