Children’s Sermon
First Reading: 2 Kings 4:42-44 p.31
Today’s reading is part of a larger section of 2 Kings that describes the miracle of Elisha, the successor to Elijah. Here the prophet gives food to a hungry crowd. Though there is not enough food to go around, Elisha trusts God, who provides enough and even more to satisfy the need.
Psalm 145:10-18p. 286
Second Reading:Ephesians 3:14-21p. 31 We have been rooted and grounded in the love of Christ, which surpasses all human knowledge. Because Christ dwells in our hearts, our lives are continuously strengthened and empowered by the ongoing presence of the Spirit.
Gospel Verse p.31
Gospel: John 6:1-21 p.32
In John’s gospel, the miracles of Jesus are called “signs,” because the reveal the true character of God. As such, they remain within the mystery of God and cannot be brought under human control.
