4th Sunday after Pentecost
Mark 4:26-34
Pastor Joe Gawel
Parables we've heard many times over since Sunday school can often hold difficult truths we still need to hear. Sometimes the must difficult truth is being reminded that God's will is not our own, and we must patiently and humble share His love and mercy without feeling entitled to visible results of our "toil".

2nd Sunday after Pentecost
Mark 2:23-3:6
Alex Brown
Often we find it too easy to equate rest with a reward we've earned or worked hard for, when in fact the very concept of true rest is singularly offered and granted by Jesus Christ our Savior. Let's explore the beauty of His gift and remind ourselves today that it comes to us freely in our imperfection, not by our earthly accomplishments.
