Mark 16
Pastor Derek Floyd
There’s a story about the late blind singer and musician, Ray Charles, sitting on an airplane during an intermediate stop. When asked if he’d like to leave the plane to stretch his legs, he declined but asked if someone would take his seeing-eye dog for a walk. The pilot proceeded to walk the dog around the plane. Everyone who saw this in the terminal would not get on the plane.
Oh we of little faith! We shout toward heaven, “God, don’t You see what’s happening to me?”
As recorded in Mark 16, Jesus rebuked the disciples for their lack of faith to believe that He had risen. He said that He would rise in three days and kept His promise. As a result, we can believe that He will keep all of His other promises. According to Hebrews 1:11, faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, and it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
Christ is risen, and He is alive!!
OK, this is your boarding call.
Music has always been an integral part of Derek Floyd’s life, including television, touring, singing, recording, writing/arranging and serving as a music minister before joining the Grace Covenant pastoral staff.
