We worship together, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen

Greetings to each of you on this Lord's day!

In our Gospel lesson today, people had gathered in the Capernaum synagogue, where Jesus was teaching and healed a man with an unclean spirit.  

"And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”  Mark 1:27

The sermon theme for today was WHEN THE ONE TRUE AUTHORITY SPEAKS, WE ARE MADE CLEAN! Jesus spoke with authority many times during His earthly ministry, none more powerful than on the cross when He revealed "It is finished".  His work of saving us, of re-creating His creation was complete.  The perfect Sacrifice paid the price for all your sins.  THANKS BE TO GOD!

Memory verse from our Scripture readings this week:   Psalm 111:10

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; 

all those who practice it have a good understanding.”

Stewardship verse from our Scripture readings this week:   1 Corinthians 8:6

“…yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.”

Our heavenly Father created us, and Jesus Christ saved us; all that we are and have are gifts from God.   Our generosity toward others springs forth, we give gladly and joyfully, in love and thankfulness.  Make our hearts so, O God!
