St. Aidan's Episcopal Church
Mark 6:1-13
.........Then Jesus said to them, "Prophets are not without honor, except in their hometown, and among their own kin, and in their own house." And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. And he was amazed at their unbelief.Then he went about among the villages teaching. He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them." So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
For a couple of years now I have not been using a manuscript for sermons so I haven't posted here very often. I have been looking for a way to post recordings of sermons and think I've figured it out. The link below will take you to my site at Soundcloud. Once you are there, just click the arrow on the left to listen to this week's message.
In addition to the gospel lesson above, we heard Ezekiel being sent to the exiles in Babylon. God tells Ezekiel he is to go and speak the truth to the people who will "know that there has been a prophet among them."
The "prophet" theme caught my attention this week. JB
