Welcome to our "Hope for All" Worship!
As a joyful and uplifting service on the first Sunday of every
month, "Hope for All" will have increased youth participation and
engaging music that both young and old will enjoy together! May
all know of the Hope we have in Jesus!
WELCOME GUESTS!
We extend a special welcome to all guests who are worshiping with
us today. Please complete a welcome card, located in the pew rack, and
place it in the offering plate. Our goal is to be a nurturing and welcoming
community of faith. During our Sunday worship service, we offer a
nursery (birth to age 3) and “Children’s Church” for pre-school
through 3rd grade children. “Children’s Church” begins following the
Children’s Chat. Portable hearing devices and/or large print hymnals are
available if you need them. Please ask an usher to assist you with them.

One Having Authority
“He taught them as one having authority” (Mark 1:22). The word “authority”
carries a sense of power: here, to know the Scripture, to know and understand
the people listening, and to control the evil spirit in the man.
This passage begins in a rather matter-of-fact fashion. Jesus is setting up
in Capernaum, a favorite gathering place of his ministry. It is the Sabbath; Jesus
takes the scroll, reads it, then interprets it. Here the crowd is aroused: “How
well he speaks; he gives me something to think about. Why he sounds better
than the scribes when they speak; what authority he has!” Many of us have
heard one who speaks with authority on one subject or another, one who holds
our attention and inspires awe. These experiences help us to understand how
the people of this synagogue felt about Jesus. They recognize him as a man of
power.
Imagine their surprise when the man with an unclean spirit approaches
Jesus. Mark’s Gospel has all spirits know and speak to Jesus. “Have you come
to destroy us? I know who you are” (Mark 1:24). When Jesus calls the spirit out
of the man, people ask, “Who is he that even the spirits obey him?” Here Jesus
at the beginning of his ministry shows that he not only knows the Scripture and
its deeper meaning, but also has the ability to cast out demons and heal and
forgive sin—power indeed. People lose no time in spreading the stories of his
abilities.
Today’s lesson is about power—not the power that warriors and political
forces, or kings, presidents, and the like would understand. The power that Jesus held was unlike what anyone before or after him has ever shown. Gandhi
came close. Jesus had the power of understanding what God expected of him,
of knowing what God would do for him. We all work at attaining a small bit of
this power. Wanting to know ourselves and to find good and love as well as disappointment and indifference within. Follow the way. Jesus set us a good path,
easy to see, if not to follow. Prayer, study, stewardship, hospitality are all steps
to help us along the way. We are never alone. Jesus still has the power.
