Jesus says, in today’s Gospel of Mark, “Concern yourself with divine things rather than human things.” He turned to Peter and said, “Remember, you are made for divine things.” In his sermon, Pastor Eric asked us to think about what exactly these divine things are.

His idea began with a “Thursday Church” exercise of writing words that represented gifts from God on strips of paper and forming them into a chain. Some of the gifts noted were compassion, family, mercy, and growth. During this morning’s children’s…

Life as we know it totally changed when Jesus started his ministry. God was showing his power through his son. Jesus told his disciples that they would…
