Pastor’s Note Feb 9th

“27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other,
“What is this? A new teaching—and with authority!
 He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” 
28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.”
(Mark 1:27, 28 NIV)
 

I am writing you this note on February 9 which means that a new month has started in our Gospel Challenge and we are reading the second Gospel, the Gospel of Mark during the month of February.
 
If you don’t remember, throughout the year, we are reading the 4 Gospels, one Gospel each month. That means in the second month of the year we are reading the second Gospel, the Gospel of Mark. The good thing about Mark is that it is a short book with only 16 chapters so if you haven’t started, you have plenty of days to catch-up, even during the short month of February.
 
Now don’t just power your way through each Gospel. On days when you can take a bit more time, let the stories of Jesus sink in. Be amazed at His actions and His words. Imagine yourself as an onlooker, seeing and hearing Jesus. Listen for something new that you can learn about Him.
 
Maybe, as we are amazed at what we are learning about Jesus, news about Him will spread over the whole region of Lakeside and East County from our Jesus encounters. Let’s see what Jesus will do as we read about His life throughout 2022.
