The readings for Palm Sunday are Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29, and Mark 11:1-11 or John 12:12-16. The readings for Passion Sunday are Isaiah 50:4-9a, Psalm 31:9-16, Philippians 2:5-11, and Mark 14:1-15:47 or Mark 15:1-39, (40-47). This week we look at how sharks are impacting their environments and we are impacting theirs. Our impact is often beyond what we normally think just like how Jesus's life still impacts ours. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question:
Have you stopped and honestly contemplated the impact of Jesus's death on your life?
Have you stopped and contemplated the impact of your life on others? #faithandscipodcast
