Hello everyone! My name is Elise Brooklyn and this is Scattering Flowers, a podcast where we scatter flowers of faith.
I’m so happy to be with you reading the Daily Gospels together.
Let’s get started! Today is Monday, January 13th, and we’ll be reading Mark 1, 14-20.
Follow along in your Bible if you have one.
Now let’s read Mark 1, 14-20.
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent and believe in the gospel.
And passing along the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, lifting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
And Jesus said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
And immediately they left their nets and followed them.
And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were on their boat mending the nets.
And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
I love to have hot chocolate, yum! But you know what’s even better?
Hot chocolate with whipped cream! I think it makes my hot chocolate taste even better! Like whipped cream making my hot chocolate better, in today’s reading, Jesus told the disciples to drop their fishy nets and follow to fish for men.
When they did that, they were able to make their lives better, and then share with others how good God is, like putting whipped cream on a delicious drink.
Let’s pray.
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Dear God, help us to taste and see your goodness, and help us to share that extra love with others.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Thank you so much for listening.
I’ll be back tomorrow, scattering more flowers.
See ya!
