Fifth Sunday After Epiphany

Written by Faith2014 on .

 In Isaiah God is the one who sits above the earth with its inhabitants as small as grasshoppers and also strengthens the powerless. So in Jesus’ healing work we see the hand of the creator God, lifting up the sick woman to health and service (diakonia). Like Simon’s mother-in-law, we are lifted up and healed to serve. Following Jesus, we strengthen the powerless; like Jesus, we seek to renew our own strength in quiet times of prayer.

Accompanying Scripture:
Isaiah 40:21-31, Psalm 147:1-11, 20c, Mark 1:29-30

Fourth Sunday After Epiphany

Written by Faith2014 on .

In Deuteronomy God promises to raise up a prophet like Moses, who will speak for God; in Psalm 111 God shows the people the power of God’s works. For the church these are ways of pointing to the unique authority people sensed in Jesus’ actions and words. We encounter that authority in God’s word, around which we gather, the word that prevails over any lesser spirit that would claim power over us, freeing us to follow Jesus.

Accompanying Scripture:
Deuteronomy 18: 15-20, Psalm 111, Mark 1:21-20

Third Sunday After Epiphany

Written by Faith2014 on .

As we continue through the time after Epiphany, stories of the call to discipleship show us our collective calling to show Christ to the world. Jesus begins proclaiming the good news and calling people to repentance right after John the Baptist is arrested for preaching in a similar way. Knowing that John was later executed, we see at the very outset the cost of discipleship. Still, the two sets of brothers leave everything they have known and worked for all their lives to follow Jesus and fish for people.

Accompanying Scripture:
Jonah 3:1-5, 10; Mark 1:14-20

Second Sunday After Epiphany

Written by Faith2014 on .

In John’s gospel, Jesus’ ministry begins with a simple call of disciples- “Follow me.” We are invited to do the same, following Jesus day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment trusting we do now do this work alone.

Accompanying Scripture:
1 Samuel 3:1-10; Psalm 139; John 1:43-51

Baptism of Our Lord

Written by Faith2014 on .

In the beginning of the gospel of Mark, Jesus is baptized by John the baptist in the River Jordan and this jumpstarts his ministry. For us, baptism reminds us that we too begin as children of God and are proclaimed beloved. Through water and holy spirit, God celebrates not for what we do but who we are.

Accompanying Scripture:
Genesis 1:1-5; Psalm 29; Mark 1:1-11
