The Bible study will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 25 from noon-1:15 p.m. This is week four of a five-week study titled: “The Decalogue—The Ten Commandments,” which looks in-depth at the Ten Commandments. Bishop Finck will lead the discussion.
In Mark 9:30-37, Jesus travels to Capernaum. Jesus does a bit of foreshadowing. He states that the person who wants to be greatest needs to be a servant to the others. Jesus does this at the Passover meal when he washes the feet of his disciples. Then, Jesus puts a child in front of them and tells them they must welcome this child. Jesus was making a point. Believers need to be aware of those in need and do something. Even with small steps and small choices.
