When will my prayers be answered? - Message
Our focus today is on Mary Magdalene, a devoted follower of Jesus, who experienced profound healing and transformation through her encounter with Him. Despite not being named among the twelve disciples, her dedication was such that the church later honored her as a saint and a disciple of the disciples. Her story is pivotal as she was the first to witness the empty tomb and the resurrected Christ.
Pastor Faith shared a personal story of her brokenness, a time when a physical injury led me to question my reliance on my mental faculties. It was during this time of vulnerability that God spoke to me through the image of a kintsugi bowl, a symbol of beauty in brokenness. Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with precious metals, illustrates that it is through our fractures and repairs that our unique stories of healing and redemption are told.
