Pentecost 8 Sunday: “Come Away with Me”

Preacher:
Passage: 2 Samuel 7:1-14a

Bible Text: 2 Samuel 7:1-14a | Preacher: Rafael Vallejo

We started this month with the narrative of Jesus’ sending out the twelve disciples.

They’re all pumped up with their ability to preach and heal the sick and cast out demons. But they were also exhausted. And Jesus senses  that, he felt how they needed a break (don’t we all?) And so he says Come away with me to a quiet place and rest awhile.

The first question in the old Westminster Catechism was: What is the chief end of man? And the proposed answer was: Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

My friends. Enjoy your day. Better yet enjoy your life. And let’s enjoy God together. If the Westminster Catechism is correct, that’s what we’re here for. That’s what life is all about. Amen.
