Sermon Text: Mark 1:9-15 NRSV
Sermon Title: “Dry Places”
|
|
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And just as He was coming up out of the water,
He saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on Him.
11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”
12 And the Spirit immediately drove Him out into the wilderness. 13 He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on Him.
14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”

Praise & Worship
Prelude Adagio by James H. Rogers
Opening Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days# 180, vs.1+2+4
1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
for us did fast and pray,
teach us with you to mourn our sins
and close by you to stay.
2 As you with Satan did contend,
and did the victory win,
O give us strength in you to fight,
in you to conquer sin.
3 And thro' these days of penitence,
and thro' your passiontide,
forevermore, in life and death,
O Christ, with us abide.
4 Abide with us, that through this life
of doubts and hope and pain,
an Easter of unending joy
we may at last attain!
Special Music Take My Life (Holiness) by Scott Underwood
Closing All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly # 419, vs.1+3
1 All who hunger, gather gladly;
holy manna is our bread.
Come from wilderness and wandering.
Here, in truth, we will be fed.
You that yearn for days of fullness,
all around us, is our food
Taste and see the grace eternal.
Taste and see that God is good.
3 All who hunger, sing together,
Jesus Christ is living bread.
Come from loneliness and longing.
Here in peace, we have been led.
Blest are those who from this table live their days in gratitude.
Taste and see the grace eternal,
Taste and see that God is good.
Postlude Laudate Dominum by Dietrich Buxtehude

Please find the prayer list below,
and sincerely pray for ALL of God's creation.
PRAYER HAS DIVINE POWER TO DEMOLISH STRONGHOLDS.
"4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up
against the knowledge of God,
and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
2 Corinthians 10: 4-5

The shelter has a year-round
list of needs that are always appreciated!
They especially have shortages
of men's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and socks.
Food items are canned meats and #10 size canned fruits, vegetables & applesauce. Please sit your donations under the shelter, next to FCC's parking lot, at the set of double doors with a mailbox.
Proverbs 19:17
Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will reward them for what they have done.
Proverbs 31:8-9
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.

My fellow Christians,
Well, the month of January is drawing to a close. I honestly think January is a year in itself. February is a shorter month and it celebrates Valentine’s Day. We recognize Valentine’s Day by showing love, kindness and appreciation . We automatically think of family and friends and purchase a card or some other remembrance for them. Crisis Control Ministry is requesting INSTANT POTATOES for the month of February. These are not expensive and they can go a long way in feeding a family. Most grocers have different varieties to choose from. Also, why not go through the “card” aisle and choose a Valentine or two to send to someone who might live alone or someone you know who is having a really hard time just to let them know someone is thinking of them. Buying INSTANT POTATOES for Crisis Control Ministry and sending a simple Valentine card to someone, shows others the love, kindness and appreciation our congregation exhibits every day. The large white box in the Administrative Wing foyer is ready to hold your gifts and I’m sure your ‘heart” will be blessed.
