2 Timothy 1:1-8
1 paul, an apostle of christ jesus by the will of god according to the promise of the life which is in christ jesus, 2 to timothy, my beloved child: grace, mercy, and peace from god the father and christ jesus our lord. 3 i thank god whom i serve with a clear conscience, as did my fathers, when i remember you constantly in my prayers. 4 as i remember your tears, i long night and day to see you, that i may be filled with joy. 5 i am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother lo’is and your mother eunice and now, i am sure, dwells in you. 6 hence i remind you to rekindle the gift of god that is within you through the laying on of my hands; 7 for god did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control. 8 do not be ashamed then of testifying to our lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel in the power of god,

Psalms 96:1-3, 7-8, 10
1 o sing to the lord a new song; sing to the lord, all the earth! 2 sing to the lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. 3 declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! 7 ascribe to the lord, o families of the peoples, ascribe to the lord glory and strength! 8 ascribe to the lord the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! 10 say among the nations, “the lord reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”

Mark 4:21-25
21 and he said to them, “is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand? 22 for there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. 23 if any man has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 and he said to them, “take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. 25 for to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
