Come Get Your Bread

Marching Orders - Week 11

Scripture: Mark 8:1-21

The disciples still don't understand bread. And maybe we don't either.

Additional note for this sermon in particular: Context in reading Scripture is important. When teaching, it's vital to remind the hearers that these words weren't written ABOUT them or TO them, but can still be FOR them. BUT...the context of the hearers also matters and legitimately interacts with Scripture in such a way that sometimes there is a message for a particular community out of a particular passage that may in certain ways be specific to them. Or even to an individual. Discerning this message takes real attention to the Holy Spirit and cooperation with the Spirit’s transforming of mind-being-behavior. But it’s important to allow for the possibility that God can speak to a person or a people specifically through something that was originally written to someone else.
