Climbing Higher~ 2ed Sunday after Epiphany

1 Sam. 3:1-10(11-20):Young Samuel came to the temple in just the right time for Eli's sons were doing evil in God's eyes. God told Samuel that he would cut all of Eli's line from the temple because of this evil. 

Ps. 139:1-6,13-18:The Lord knows everything about me. He even numbered the parts of my body when I was in my Mother before I was born. The Lord is always with me.

1 Cor. 6:12-20: Keep your body as pure as your soul. Do not have sex with someone before you marry them. 

John 1:43-51: While Jesus was calling men to be his disciples he said that Nathanael was a man who does not do evil to others. 


The theme is keeping one self pure in body as well as soul. We see that God lovingly made us for a   certain calling. He knows us very well (Ps. 139:1-6,13-18). We read how well Jesus knew Nathanael (John 1:43-51). We read how we are to keep our bodies as pure as our souls (1 Cor. 6:12-20). Then we read of how God can judge his people who does not keep their bodies & souls pure (1 Sam. 3:1-19(11-20).

Challenge of the week:
This week, look at how you live, a see if you are keeping your body and soul pure for God. If it isn't, ask God to forgive you & start living in a way that would please God. 

Accomplishment of the week:



What did God point out to you? What steps can or have you taken to get closer to God?
