TRANSCRIPT
Families and the Gospel July 8 (Mark 6:1-6)
Today’s gospel is so familiar, it hurts! The home town
folks couldn’t accept the presence of God in Jesus.
After all, they had watched him grow up. We can easily
make the same mistake if we don’t see God present in
the ordinary routines of our family. “The Lord be with
you” is a statement of fact. Believe it. Live it.

THE POWER OF TOUCH
“A prophet is not without honor except in his
native place and among his own kin
and in his own house.”
Mark 6: 4
THOUGHTS ON STEWARDSHIP
AS A WAY OF LIFE
“As the Lord spoke to me, the spirit entered me and set
me on my feet, and I heard the one who was speaking
say to me, ‘Son of man, I am sending you…’”
Ezekiel 2: 2-3
God asks each of us to do some special work for Him.
He gives us the resources we need to do His work.
However, do we listen to God when He calls? Do we get
up on our feet and use our talent to do the work He asks
of us? Remember, God doesn’t call the equipped, he
equips the called.

Stewardship Reflection July 8th Ezekiel and Jesus were both rejected by those who were
close to them. May we be open-minded enough to see
God revealing his will for us from those whom we least
expect. May we live and act with the heart of Jesus and
not let people’s judgements hold us back from being the
stewards God has empowered us to be.

A Summer Blessing
May you walk with God this summer
In whatever you do wherever you go
Walking with God means...
Walking with honesty and with courage,
Walking with love and respect
And concern for the feelings of others
May you talk to God
This summer and every day
and in every situation
Talking with God means...
Praying words of praise
For the beauty of creation
Saying prayers of thanks
For friends and good times,
Asking God's help in all your decisions
Expressing sorrow
When you have failed
May you talk with God
Every day. Amen. - Author unknown
