The Anglican Parish of Boyne River
gathering for worship and ministry at
St Mark’s Boyne Island, St Mary’s Miriam Vale,
St Luke’s Lowmead, St John’s Rosedale,
St Peter’s Berajondo and Agnes Water
Sunday 1 February 2015
Welcome to our worship today. It is good to
have you with us. We pray that God will bless
you as we worship together. Please join us for
a time of fellowship following our service.
In Epiphany season we celebrate those events in Jesus' ministry which revealed
him to be the Son of God. Today we hear Mark's account of Jesus' first sermon
and the events which followed. In casting out an evil spirit from one
possessed, Jesus revealed a spiritual authority greater than that of other
prophets and teachers. The reading from Deuteronomy preserves an ancient
Hebrew tradition, that God would send another prophet as great as Moses.
While Christians have seen Jesus as the fulfilment of that tradition, he was
even greater than Moses. Those who were in the synagogue at Capernaum
realised that his power over evil spirits revealed him to be the agent of God.
The reading from 1 Corinthians deals with an extremely important part of
Paul's teaching about the Church by means of a rather obscure (to us)
controversy in that Church. It was between those who had no qualms about
eating food sacrificed to pagan gods, because they believed Christ had
rendered such gods meaningless, and those who feared that eating such food
would put them back into the fellowship of the old gods. Paul's principle is that
we are indeed free to eat any food (the old gods are meaningless) but that the
need for unity and fellowship among Christians is even more important than
exercising that freedom. We join
together in the liturgy to meet our
Saviour who comes to us in Word and
Sacrament. Jesus, then, is not only the
prophet like Moses who brings God's
Word, he is the Word made flesh who
comes among us himself in water,
bread, and wine.

Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over
them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and
the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven. Therefore
confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed.
James 5.14–16
