Relentless Grace

Jesus is not a jerk, he's in the boat with you.

June 27, 2024 • The Rev. Dr. Paula V. Mehmel

Pastor Paula makes a shift in Relentless Grace with this episode. Rather than continue with her series on Acts or do other series, she will be preaching on the text that she preached on in her latest worship service. After much prayer and reflection, she determined this was the best way to continue the podcast, which began before she was serving a congregation and preaching each week.

This week the text is Mark 4:35-41, which tells the story of the time Jesus was asleep in the boat with the disciples and they yelled at him, asking if he even cared. In her message, Pastor Paula focuses on what it means that Jesus in the boat with us, even when we feel like we are being swamped.

Opening; Scriptures-3:52; Message-5:15; Hymn-"It is Well With My Soul"-21:00; Community Connection-23:20; Closing-24:51

Scripture Text is from Mark 4:35-41 from the New Revised Standard Version
