Climbing Higher~ 1st Sunday after Epiphany

Gen. 1:1-5: First day of creation, God made light, day & night.

Ps. 29:  Worship the Lord, for the voice of the Lord is powerful.

Acts 19:1-7: Paul lays hands on men in Ephesus & they received the Holy Spirit.

Mark 1:4-11: Jesus goes to be Baptiste by John the Baptist. 

The theme is beginnings.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The first thing he created was light so that there could be daylight and night (Gen. 1:1-5). We should worship God for being powerful enough to make the heavens and the earth (Ps. 29). In Mark 1:4-11, we see Jesus being baptized before he started his ministry. In the book of Acts we see the beginning of the church. In Acts 19:1-7, we see Paul taking the Holy Spirit to the Christians there.  

Challenge of the week:
As we begin this New Year, we should think about what God would wants you to do in the next year. Is it something we have been doing that he wants you to continue or does he want you to do something new? How does he want you to go about doing it?

Accomplishment of the week:
So what is it that God wants you to do this year? What steps have you mapped out to do?
