Reflecting on God's Word
Reflecting God to the World
January 8, 2017
Thanks!
Thank you to the Holiday Committee for decorating the sanctuary in December and for taking the decorations down.
Sunday Morning Extra!
With church canceled, perhaps you and your family spend a few minutes to read Psalm 29 and Matthew 3:13-17 and sing a hymn as your family devotion.
Psalm 29 - http://ow.ly/gZUM307Myr9

Hymn - "I Saw the Light / I'll Fly Away" - http://ow.ly/LeeX307Mzdo
Bible Reading
Feel free to use this chart to help you read through the New Testament. It's only 1 chapter a day for 5 days a week. (And if you didn't start yet, it's only 2 chapters a day to catch up).
| Day | Reading |
| Monday | Mark 6 |
| Tuesday | Mark 7 |
| Wednesday | Mark 8 |
| Thursday | Mark 9 |
| Friday | Mark 10 |
· Mark chapter 6 includes a flashback.
· Mark 7:11 – By declaring it "Corbon," they were saying that they earmarked it for the LORD. However, they weren't required to use it for the LORD. So, this false promise of using the money for the LORD was often used to get out of financial obligations.
· Mark 10:19 – "Do not defraud" is not in the 10 commandments, but it's a corollary to not stealing and not lying.
