Together in Faith: (Jesus and the apostles) went to Capernaum. When the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught, and they were astounded at his teaching. Mark 1:21-22

We who are stewards of Jesus’ kingdom continue to be astounded at his teaching. We are astounded each time we reflect upon his words and realize the great mission to which we are being called. We are invited to a life of care and concern for one another. How are we to live out that call?
