A note for visitors: We’re thankful that you could join us for worship today, and we
pray God blesses you in your time here. The service is printed in your bulletin. If you
have any questions don’t hesitate to ask someone around you!

St. Francis Church we want to encourage families to worship together. In order to

be a community where all ages feel welcome, we provide coloring materials for children
to use during worship and seek to understand the specific gifts and challenges that
children bring. We encourage you, should you feel comfortable doing so, to sit toward
the front with your children, as little-ones are often more attentive if they can see what is
happening. After the second reading, children 6 years old and below are invited to take
part in children’s chapel.

We understand that there may be times when it is best to take advantage of child care,
and nursury is provided.

In Preparation for worship: We invite you to take a few moments before the service
begins to be still, and rest from the business of your lives. Take time to breathe deeply,
and reflect upon the past week, preparing yourself to come before God in worship.
When you’re ready, you might say the following prayer or one like it in preparation for
worship.

O Almighty God, who pours out on all who desire it the spirit of grace and of
supplication: Deliver us, when we draw near to you, from coldness of heart
and wanderings of mind, that with steadfast thoughts and kindled affections
we may worship you in spirit and in truth; though Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

First Reading: Deuteronomy 18:15-20

All sit.

Moses reassures the people that after his death, God will raise up another prophet to lead
them.

A Reading from the book of Deuteronomy:

M oses summoned all Israel and said to them, “The Lord your God will raise up for you
a prophet like me from among your own people; you shall heed such a prophet. This
is what you requested of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when
you said: ‘If I hear the voice of the Lord my God any more, or ever again see this great
fire, I will die.’ Then the Lord replied to me: ‘They are right in what they have said. I will
raise up for them a prophet like you from among their own people; I will put my words in
the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them everything that I command. Anyone
who does not heed the words that the prophet shall speak in my name, I myself will hold
accountable. But any prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, or who presumes to
speak in my name a word that I have not commanded the prophet to speak—that prophet
shall die.’”

Reader: The Word of the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God.

The Psalm of the day:
Remain seated

Psalm 111
Confitebor tibi
1 Hallelujah!
  I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, *
  in the assembly of the upright, in the congregation.
 
2 Great are the deeds of the Lord! *
  they are studied by all who delight in them.
 
3 His work is full of majesty and splendor, *
  and his righteousness endures for ever.
 
4 He makes his marvelous works to be remembered; *
  the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
 
5 He gives food to those who fear him; *
  he is ever mindful of his covenant.
 
6 He has shown his people the power of his works *
  in giving them the lands of the nations.
 
7 The works of his hands are faithfulness and justice; *
  all his commandments are sure.
 
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, *
  because they are done in truth and equity.
 
9 He sent redemption to his people;
  he commanded his covenant for ever; *
  holy and awesome is his Name.
 
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; *
  those who act accordingly have a good understanding;
  his praise endures for ever.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13

Paul warns believers against becoming vain about their knowledge. He declares that all
they really need to know is that they are loved by God.

A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

N ow concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.”

Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. Anyone who claims to know something
does not yet have the necessary knowledge; but anyone who loves God is known by him.
Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “no idol in the world really
exists,” and that “there is no God but one.” Indeed, even though there may be so-called
gods in heaven or on earth—as in fact there are many gods and many lords—yet for us
there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one
Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. It is not
8
everyone, however, who has this knowledge. Since some have become so accustomed to
idols until now, they still think of the food they eat as food offered to an idol; and their
conscience, being weak, is defiled. “Food will not bring us close to God.” We are no worse
off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. But take care that this liberty of yours does
not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For if others see you, who possess
knowledge, eating in the temple of an idol, might they not, since their conscience is
weak, be encouraged to the point of eating food sacrificed to idols? So by your knowledge
those weak believers for whom Christ died are destroyed. But when you thus sin against
members of your family, and wound their conscience when it is weak, you sin against
Christ. Therefore, if food is a cause of their falling, I will never eat meat, so that I may not
cause one of them to fall.

Reader: The Word of the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God.

The Children Come forward for prayer, and then depart for Children’s
Chapel

Alleluia: Taizé

Holy Gospel: Mark 1:21-28

Jesus acts with authority, backing up his teaching by healing a man troubled by an
unclean spirit.

Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to _______.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

J esus and his disciples went into Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered
the synagogue and taught. They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as
one having authority, and not as the scribes. Just then there was in their synagogue a man
with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
9
Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” But Jesus
rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” And the unclean spirit, convulsing
him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. They were all amazed, and they kept on
asking one another, “What is this? A new teaching—with authority! He commands even
the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” At once his fame began to spread throughout the
surrounding region of Galilee.

Gospeller: The Gospel of the Lord

People: Praise to you, Lord Christ

Repeat Alleluia: (see above)

Sermon: The Rev. Joseph B. Howard

The Nicene Creed

W

e believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Because in the mystery of the Word made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in
our hearts, to give the knowledge of your glory in the face of your Son Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the
company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

The Sanctus: S129

Please stand or kneel at this time, as best helps you to pray.

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we
had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus
Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us,
to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross,
and offered himself in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread;
and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said,
“Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them,
and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed
for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the
remembrance of me.”

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

13
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and
thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.
Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son,
the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may
faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at
the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. By him, and with him, and in him, in the
unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.
AMEN.
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed by thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

The Breaking of the Bread
Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

The Gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for
you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

 A Note on Today’s Readings
Fourth Sunday of Epiphany, Year B

Welcome to St. Francis Church. 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
fulfillment of that tradition, he was in fact even greater than Moses. Those who were in the
synagogue at Capernaum realized that his power over evil spirits revealed him to be the
agent of God.

Our reading from 1 Corinthians today 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 Savior, 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.

Sunday, February 1
Isaiah 51:9-16 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord! Awake as in the ancient of days, in
the generations of old. So the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with
everlasting joy on their heads. (vv.9a, 11a NKJV)
Recall that human composition is spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). The Spirit of God,
through the prophet Isaiah, is calling our entire being to awaken from slumber. What does a slumbering
spirit look like? If I am sleeping, I’m not looking for the nudging of His guidance in all aspects of
my life: relationships, work, church, and ministry. His Word also looses its edge in my life. It ceases
to be that living Word that changes me and those I touch. I begin to have lazy love instead of alive,
agape love that is always reaching for the other. So, I turn my face to the Father in this call to awaken
my spirit and enter into a land of promise whose builder and maker is God. Everything changes then.
Tasks that once were gray and lifeless now become joy building experiences.
“The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace” (Psalm
29:11).
Psalms 24, 29; Hebrews 11:8-16; John 7:14-31

Isaiah 51:17-23 “Awake, Awake! But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have
said to you, ‘Lie down, that we may walk over you.’ And you have laid your body like the ground,
and as the street, for those who walk over.” (vv.17a, 23)
Why would God’s people (the Israelites) let others walk over them? They had forgotten their identity
as His chosen people. How do I let others walk over me? In our present culture, Christian values and
the teachings of the Bible are often put down as ignorant and lacking in political correctness. If I
don’t press against these attitudes, I let others walk over me. God’s call for them and us is to awaken
and come back to Him who delivers us from our Enemy. Lord, I throw myself at your feet. You alone
have the plan and the power for me to walk rightly in this culture.
“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you” (Psalm 56:3).
Psalms 56, 57, 58; Galatians 4:1-11; Mark 7:24-37

Tuesday, February 3
Isaiah 52:1-12 Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion. Therefore My people shall know My
name; Therefore they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks: ‘Behold, it is I.’” (vv.1a, 6)
I am listening for this God who speaks.
“My Precious Child, thank you for coming into my secret place today. You’re the One My heart is
longing for. I have planned many special appointments for you today. Look deep into the hearts of
those I have chosen to enter your life. Have compassion for each one as I had compassion on the
thousands. They are hungry for the truths of my Kingdom. Feed them.”
“My soul waits silently for God alone” (Psalm 62:5).
Psalms 61, 62; Galatians 4:12-20; Mark 8:1-10

Wednesday, February 4
Isaiah 54:1-17 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your
dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.” (v.2)
Ed Delph states in his book Church @ Community: “The church is the only organization in the world
that exists primarily for its non-members.” The prophet encourages us to enlarge the place in our lives
and hearts where community members will be welcomed. Those that may not be welcome anyplace
else like: those socially unacceptable, addicts, prostitutes, mentally handicapped, those from every
tribe and nation. In Mark’s gospel, the disciples were looking at the physical need for bread, but every
human being (whether they know it or not) is seeking love from the Living Bread, Jesus the Christ.
Lord, please make my life that living bread today.
“For He will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also and him who has no helper” (Psalm
72:12).
Psalm 72; Galatians 4:21-31; Mark 8:11-26

Thursday, February 5
Isaiah 55:1-13 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My
thoughts than your thoughts.” (vv.8-9)
In agreement with Isaiah, Proverbs 3 instructs me to lean not on my own understanding. My own
understanding, my thoughts, and my ways confine me to that low earthly thinking instead of seeing
life through heaven’s eyes. What is the practical application of that truth in my life today? In a couple
of days, I am preparing to visit family in another state. My heart longs to see their true heart and
character, not their faults and failings. Lord, please give me the grace and the courage to see everyone
through your eyes.
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled with a
yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1).
Psalms 70, 71; Galatians 5:1-15; Mark 8:27—9:1

Isaiah 56:1-8 “Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of
prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be
called a house of prayer for all nations.” (v.7)
My heart and mouth are filled with praise for my wonderful, healing God. I thank Him for all the
people He has sent to our “little house of prayer.” Each day I am allowed to participate in His
interaction with those who come for prayer. The stories vary greatly but it all boils down to one main
thing: He delivers them from a lifetime of fear to a place of security in knowing His love for them.
As I am accustomed to saying, “It’s the best seat in the house.”
“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25).
“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving” (Psalm
69:30).
Psalm 69; Galatians 5:16-24; Mark 9:2-13

Saturday, February 7
Psalm 75 We thank you, God, we thank you—your Name is our favorite word; your mighty works are
all we talk about. (v.1 The Message)
Because the Spirit of God lives in me, I have entered into another realm of existence. My feet are no
longer tied to this earth. With my spirit connected with God’s Spirit, He begins to allow me to see my
life from His perspective. I soar like an eagle above the storm. That perspective changes everything.
I no longer live in confusion concerning the meaning of my life. I can believe that everything that
happens to me has a purpose. I may not grasp with my mind all the purposes, but I can rest in knowing
that my Abba loves me passionately and has only good plans for me.
I bless your spirit in the Name of Jesus the Son, Father and Holy Spirit with the deep knowledge of
His love for you. Amen.
