Scriptures this week<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 11:1\u201310<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 A shoot will grow up from the stump of Jesse;
a branch will sprout from his roots.
2 The Lord\u2019s spirit will rest upon him,
a spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a spirit of planning and strength,
a spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord.
3 He will delight in fearing the Lord.
He won\u2019t judge by appearances,
nor decide by hearsay.
4 He will judge the needy with righteousness,
and decide with equity for those who suffer in the land.
He will strike the violent with the rod of his mouth;
by the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
5 Righteousness will be the belt around his hips,
and faithfulness the belt around his waist.
6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
and the leopard will lie down with the young goat;
the calf and the young lion will feed together,
and a little child will lead them.
7 The cow and the bear will graze.
Their young will lie down together,
and a lion will eat straw like an ox.
8 A nursing child will play over the snake\u2019s hole;
toddlers will reach right over the serpent\u2019s den.
9 They won\u2019t harm or destroy anywhere on my holy mountain.
The earth will surely be filled with the knowledge of the Lord,
just as the water covers the sea.
10 On that day, the root of Jesse will stand as a signal to the peoples. The nations will seek him out, and his dwelling will be glorious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark 1:9-15<\/strong>
9 About that time, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. 10 While he was coming up out of the water, Jesus saw heaven splitting open and the Spirit, like a dove, coming down on him. 11 And there was a voice from heaven: \u201cYou are my Son, whom I dearly love; in you I find happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 At once the Spirit forced Jesus out into the wilderness. 13 He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan. He was among the wild animals, and the angels took care of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus\u2019 message
14 After John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee announcing God\u2019s good news, 15 saying, \u201cNow is the time! Here comes God\u2019s kingdom! Change your hearts and lives, and trust this good news!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
