| This weeks readings and question of the week:
Take time to mediate on God’s word and prepare for worship this Sunday. And as you meditate on them, consider the Question of the week: How or in what ways can I nurture the good seed of faith that has been planted in me, so that I can bear fruit for God’s reign?
Ezekiel 17:22-24
Psalm 92:1-4,11-14
2 Corinthians 5:6-10, 14-17
Mark 4:26-34
Psalm 92: 1-2
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, * and to sing praises to your Name, O Most High;
To tell of your loving-kindness early in the morning * and of your faithfulness in the night season;
As Christians we have the promise that God is with us at all times – the early morning, the late night; the good times, the challenging times; when we are feeling well, when we are sick; when we are in church, our home, our work, our school, or wherever we are.
So give praise to the Lord all day long!
