Pilgrim Lutheran Church
The Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
July 18, 2021
Dear friends & family of Pilgrim in Burton, Michigan,
We were blessed to gather earlier today at Pilgrim, to receive God's gifts and respond in humble praise & thanksgiving. In the sermon we considered the Gospel lesson, best known for Jesus' miraculous feeding of over 5000 people from five small loaves and two fish. Did you know that the loaves were likely from barley and were small, more like a biscuit? Barely was less expensive and thus the more typical food of the poor residents of this area. And the fish were likely "salt fish", about the size of sardines? There is another teaching in these two facts; Jesus often accomplished great things for HIs kingdom, using what the world would consider the simplest and lowest things!
Anyway, in the sermon we developed this idea:
JESUS' POWER, GIVEN TO US, BRINGS LIFE TO DESOLATE PLACES.
Give it a listen, and think about desolate places in your life where God has brought life and where you might pray that He will do so.
