Climbing Higher~ 4th Sunday after Epiphany

Deut. 18:15-20: God will raise up a prophet. Listen to that prophet.  But God will kill the prophet that will lead God's people to false gods.

Ps. 111:Praise the Lord for his works. Praise him for how he cares for his people. His Works are forever.  The fear of the Lord brings wisdom & obeying the Word to his people. He will judge those who do not follow him, but will send redemption to those who obey him. 

Cor. 8:1-13:Love is more important than knowledge. Do not cause someone to fall in their faith.

Mark 1:21-28: Jesus went to Capernaum and taught in the synagogue. The people were amazed, since he spoke to them as one who knew what he was talking about. While there, he healed a man with an unclean spirit. The people asked how he could also have the power to do so.

In these verses, we are warmed not to lead others from their faith by our words or what we do (Deut. 18:15-20; 1 Cor. 8:1-13; Ps. 111). We should live in obedience to God to show love to others (1Cor. 8:1-13). We see Jesus showing love to a man with unclean spirits when he called them out of him (Mark 1:21-28). We are to be like Christ, that is why we are called CHRISTians.

Challenge of the week:
This week, work hard to obey God's Word, so that you will not make those watching you loose their faith in God. 

Accomplishment of the week:


How did it go? What areas of your life did you change to fulfill this challenge?
