June 23– Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
1 Samuel 17: 1-16, 32-50 | Mark 4:35-41
In Mark 4:35-41, the disciples are in a boat with Jesus in the middle of a storm and, in their fear, accuse Jesus of not caring for them. Jesus’ words, “Peace. Be still!” calm the storm. God is always with us, and we can rely on God. This week’s texts stand to testify that God remains close by God’s people. We are each created uniquely in God’s image. We are called to stay true to who God created us to be and to lead authentically. God is not for or against one group or people but for justice and peace throughout the world. How are you allowing God to use your authentic self and act courageously for justice for all?
The Rev. Beth O’Malley, Dean of the Chapel at Hood College, will be preaching. The Senior Choir will sing.
