Engaging Our Culture: May 20-Go to Where the People Are

Video of the Day: Clip from the 2000 movie “Unbreakable”

Bible Verse of the Day:

Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons, Mark 1:38-39

Biblical Connection:

David Dunn and Elijah Price are on opposite sides of the spectrum. David was the sole survivor of a train crash and discovers that he possesses superhuman strength. Meanwhile, Elijah grew up an accident waiting to happen. Elijah broke so many bones over the years that he developed the nickname Mr. Glass. Awakened to his special ability, David calls Elijah for advice on where to start.

The Gospel of Mark is written with a sense of urgency. Subsequently, one of the first mornings Jesus spent with his twelve disciples he went off to pray early in the morning. When Peter realized that Jesus was missing, he panicked, sending the disciples out to search for Jesus. Unsure of what to do or where to go, God revealed to Jesus their agenda for this day, going to the people.

Closing Song:

All Christians experience times of prayer that Leanna sings about. Rather, than trying to impress God with big theological words, honesty is the best policy when it comes to prayer. As you pray this morning, may the Holy Spirit lead you to the people that God wants you to touch today.
