In the former time he bro ught into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali\, but in t he latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea\, the land beyond the Jordan\, Galilee of the nations.\n2 The people who walked in darkness\ n have seen a great light\;\nthose who lived in a land of deep darkness —\n on them light has shined.\n3 You have multiplied the nation\,\n you have increased its joy\;\nthey rejoice before you\n as with joy a t the harvest\,\n as people exult when dividing plunder.\n4 For the yok e of their burden\,\n and the bar across their shoulders\,\n the rod of their oppressor\,\n you have broken as on the day of Midian.\n\n1 C orinthians 1:10-18\n10 Now I appeal to you\, brothers and sisters\, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ\, that all of you should be in agreement an d that there should be no divisions among you\, but that you should be uni ted in the same mind and the same purpose. 11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you\, my brothers and sisters. 12 What I mean is that each of you says\, ‘I belong to Paul’ \, or ‘I belong to Apollos’\, or ‘I belong to Cephas’\, or ‘I be long to Christ.’ 13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius\, 15 so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also the household of Stephana s\; beyond that\, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Ch rist did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel\, and not with eloquent wisdom\, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power.\n18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing\, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.\nMatthe w 4.12-23\n12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested\, he withdr ew to Galilee. 13 He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the l ake\, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali\, 14 so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:\n15 ‘Land of Zebul un\, land of Naphtali\,\n on the road by the sea\, across the Jordan\, Galilee of the Gentiles—\n16 the people who sat in darkness\n have se en a great light\,\nand for those who sat in the region and shadow of deat h\n light has dawned.’\n17 From that time Jesus began to proclaim\, ‘Repent\, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.'\n18 As he walked by the Sea of Galilee\, he saw two brothers\, Simon\, who is called Peter\, a nd Andrew his brother\, casting a net into the lake—for they were fisher men. 19 And he said to them\, ‘Follow me\, and I will make you fish for people.’ 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 As he went from there\, he saw two other brothers\, James son of Zebedee and his brother John\, in the boat with their father Zebedee\, mending their nets \, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father\ , and followed him.\nJesus went throughout Galilee\, teaching in their syn agogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every dise ase and every sickness among the people.\n\nThis week we pray for: \n\nAll who live and work in Baring Road\, Edinburgh Close\, Mountbatten Avenue\, The Green\, and the parish of St. John's\, Northwood.\n\nAll are welcome to our family friendly services that last approximately 1 hour and are liv e streamed on YouTube.
