Seattle Mennonite Church Sermons
Heart Treasures & 12-Year-Olds
•
SMC preachers
This sermon is a wondering, a story, a reflection, and - at the last - a blessing. A wondering about the treasures stored in Mary’s heart. A story about an aunt and her nephew ice skating. A reflection about Jesus at 12-years-old, about ALL 12-year-olds, and about belonging. A blessing for each beloved one… those on the way to, presently at, or well on the other side of age 12.
Sermon begins at minute marker 6:05
Scripture: Psalm 36:5-10 & Luke 2:41-51
