A Message from Kahu Alan Akana
JESUS AND THE SEA
I enjoyed our worship service at the beach on Sunday! Our theme was “Jesus and the Sea.” We took a look at how people in biblical times felt about large bodies of water, and it was not all positive. We also considered the two passages in Mark’s Gospel where Jesus calmed the sea, and I encouraged us all to consider what we might learn from those passages, even though our feelings toward the sea might be significantly different from the feelings that the original hearers of these stories may have had. The bottom line: God is with us during the times of chaos and fear, and because of God’s presence, we can stand firm with the confidence that God’s love is always with us. My prayer for all is that we will stand firm in the times of chaos and fear in our lives because of our faith in God’s loving presence.
I look forward to seeing you on a Sunday morning again soon!
