This Sunday is the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany. In our worship we will hear Paul's discussion with the Corinthian church about some of their eating practices in 1 Corinthians 8.1-6, and also we will remember that Jesus is our authority for eating, listening and everything else; see Mark 1.21-22. Do those things we do, therefore, glorify God and give witness to our acceptance of the Lordship of Christ, or do we pursue our own agendas?
A prayer for this week:
Almighty God, great are your works for you are gracious and merciful, even to providing us food. Grant us wise and thankful hearts for your power and greatness. Guide us by the Spirit to study the ways of him who is our ultimate and final authority: your Incarnate Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit: One God. Amen.
