Mark 6:30
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: English)
SUMMARY:
The passage in Mark 6:30-44 provides insight into a fulfilling life of ministry and impact. The disciples gathered around Jesus after their ministry trip to report to him and recharge their energy. To lead a successful and fruitful life, we need to continually be centered around the person of Christ and have intimacy with Him. We need to use the Word of God, times of fasting and prayer to recharge ourselves and remain close to the Spirit. It is important to report everything to the Lord, the good and the bad, and revel in the release and purity of letting it all out. This passage shows the importance of recharging ourselves with the power of God to lead fulfilling lives.
The speaker discusses the importance of finding rest in the Lord and being a normal, fun-loving person while also being spiritual. He emphasizes the need to let go of anxieties and to be close to God, and shares his own experiences of finding rest in the Lord. He also talks about the importance of being magnetic and attractive to others by being in the presence of the Lord and transmitting His power, joy, and grace. The speaker encourages listeners to cultivate compassion and love towards others, and to be gracious and generous with forgiveness and forgetting past offenses.

The message is followed by a moment of relaxation and worship. The speaker encourages the audience to confess the things that are pulling them down and to believe that God can free them up.I want to ask you to go to the Book of Mark, the Gospel according to Mark and I want to start by encouraging us all to come to church with our Bibles and you know to embarrass ourselves on the train and show our Bibles and be part of that witnessing crowd that speaks to the world about the people who are founded on the word of God.
There’s a passage there on Mark, chapter 6, verse 30, that I’d like to share with you tonight. Mark 6:30. I’ll start reading it and I can just hear it and maybe sometime we’ll also be able to project in the background so that you can have it there as well.
