The African Episcopal Church

🌅 Preparing for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost – Year B
Thursday, September 19, 2024

📖 Scripture Preview:
This Sunday, we explore Mark 9:38-50, where Jesus teaches His disciples about the inclusiveness of His kingdom and the seriousness of sin. Jesus calls us to recognize God’s work beyond our own circles and to be vigilant in removing anything from our lives that causes us to stumble.

🙏 Prayer:
Gracious God, open our eyes to see Your presence at work in unexpected places. Help us to remove anything that hinders our walk with You, and guide us to live faithfully in Your love.

💬 Reflection:
How can you recognize God’s work beyond familiar boundaries? Think about ways you can support and celebrate others who are working for His kingdom.
