“And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.” – Mark 1:35
In the midst of all the busy-ness of teaching and healing, Jesus took time to pray. Why? For whom?
He did it . . . for you.

(I’m finally caught up . . . for now)
This is the sermon from January 22, 2012. As Jesus began His ministry and called His disciples, He announced that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Further, He told those who heard to repent, believe in the Gospel, and (to the apostles) follow Him. His instruction is the same to all of us who have been called.

Though many in our culture recognize January 1 primarily as the first day of the New Year, in the church we recognize it also as the eighth day of Jesus’ birth. For families living under God’s Covenant with Abraham, male infants were circumcised and named on the eighth day. So this is the day we recognize Jesus’ own circumcision, the day when His name was made known.
