Verse of the Day September 22

We begin our new series Reimagining the Church.

Each week, we’ll explore a different New Testament image or metaphor for being disciples of Christ and the church and we begin this week with the Gospel of Mark. Mark is the oldest gospel, the first to be written, and in it Jesus calls his followers to be disciples of the cross. This was not easy for the first disciples of Jesus nor for the households of faith to whom Mark was initially speaking, and it isn’t easy for us today.

Today’s reading Mark 1:1-20, Prologue/Call to Discipleship.

The Verse of the Day is Mark 1:17,

And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.”
