Fourth Sunday after Epiphany
In Deuteronomy God promises to raise up a prophet like Moses, who will speak God; in Psalm 111 God shows the people the power of God’s works. For church these are ways of pointing to the unique authority people sensed in’ actions and words. We encounter that authority in God’s word, around we gather, the word that prevails over any lesser spirit that would claim over us, freeing us to follow Jesus.
