Mark 9:30-31 NLT,
30 Leaving that region, they traveled
through Galilee. Jesus didn’t want
anyone to know he was there, 31 for he
wanted to spend more time with his
disciples and teach them.”

brothers and sisters: You
must all be quick to
listen, slow to speak, and
slow to get angry.
Ecclesiastes 5:1-2
As you enter the house of God, keep your
ears open and your mouth shut. It is evil
to make mindless offerings to God.

hasty in bringing matters before God.
After all, God is in heaven, and you are
here on earth. So let your words be few.

the earth.”

silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I
have. In the name of Jesus Christ the
Nazarene, get up and walk!”
