Our Daily Bread : 2 Points from God's Word Today

Sunday 9th June 2024

First reading (Genesis 3: 9-15). Satan can use failure, human weaknesses and shame to make us feel unworthy to come to God as we are just as Adam hid himself from God after the fall. Nevertheless, it is when we are shattered and humiliated by our waywardness and sins that we need to cry out to God for mercy and forgiveness. Satan leads us astray not for our well-being nor for the growth of our families but to win souls for himself. 

Gospel (Mark 3:20-35). A church without martyrs gives rise to uncertainty; a church that takes no risks gives rise to distrust; a church that is afraid to proclaim Jesus Christ in all kinds of time and cast out demons, mismanagement, powermongers, corruption, embezzlement, and money worshippers is not a reflection of the apostolic church.
