More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Come See Jesus #31 -- Mark 6:1-13 -- What if you grew up with Jesus?
Mark 6:1-13 describes two completely different responses to Jesus. One response was an amazing lack of amazement. The other response is all-in surrender. So here's what I believe. I believe that if you come to Jesus with ears to hear and eyes to see...you will. If you don't, you won't. Sometimes our lack of seeing is more on us, than it is on him. We come unprepared. We come with distracted minds, souls so saturated with stuff that we don’t really have space in our lives to be amazed by Jesus.
Let me ask it this way, "Can you imagine growing up with Jesus?" Sometimes I do. I guess the question that jumps out frm Mark 6 is "What would it've been like to grow up with Jesus?"
