Eating Jesus’ flesh and drinking His blood is the way to remain in Jesus and Him in us

Gospel: John 6: 51–58
If you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you will not have life in you.

Jesus was the unexpected messenger of good news; He WAS the good news!

Gospel: John 6: 41–51

Jesus’ compassion for those who need his help; balancing personal rest with the needs of others

Gospel: Mark 6: 30–34
“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

Like the twelve apostles, we are sent out to spread the message of Jesus and trust in his care.

Gospel: Mark 6: 7–13
He instructed them to take nothing for their journey but a walking stick.
