Mark 6, Luke 9: 1 - 17, Mathew 14 (17th October) - Sylvia

John the Baptist Beheaded

John's time had come. He was jailed for standing up to his values and not being afraid of it and killed because of a king's pride.

Isn't it a shame when sometimes we sin or go the wrong way simply because we don't want to lose face or due to peer pressure?
Don't be afraid to stick to your values and not go the ways of the world. Set an example for the other younger believers in faith.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

Even when Jesus was mourning for the loss of John, He still remembered the needy and had compassion on them to heal the sick. As He spoke to the crowds, it got late and everyone was hungry in an ulu place where shops were closed.

Thank God for the miracle Jesus performed. Feeding the thousands with 5 loaves and 2 fish. Awesome!

Jesus Walks on the Water

Jesus walks on the water and ended up beig mistaken for a ghost by his own disciples. As He invited Peter to join Him, initially Peter was able to walk on the water. However, facing a distraction, He lost faith and began to sink.

Often, we enter into things with such huge faith but our faith level gradually comes down as we meet with obstacles or distractions etc. Look to the Lord in all that we do such that we do not need to fear anymore.
