ALL are welcome at Bethany as we come together for Worship on Sunday, Jan 29th -- 9:00 AM. Coffee and doughnuts are served following worship! Sunday School at 10:15 AM.
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 trumps any lesser spirit that will claim power over us, freeing us to follow Jesus.
THIS SUNDAY’S READINGS
Deuteronomy 18:15-20
Psalm 111
I Corinthians 8:1-13
Mark1:21-28
THIS SUNDAY'S PRAYER OF THE DAY
Compassionate God, you gather the whole universe into your radiant presence and continually reveal your Son as our Savior. Bring wholeness to all that is broken and speak truth to us in our confusion, that all creation will see and know your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
