Readings: Isaiah 40:21-31 / Psalm 147:1-11, 20c / 1 Corinthians 9:16-23 / Mark 1:29-39
Introduction: In Isaiah the one God who sits above the earth and numbers the stars also strengthens the powerless. So in Jesus’ healing work we see the hand of the creator God, lifting up the sick woman to health and service (diakonia). Like Simon’s mother-in-law, we are lifted up and healed to serve. Following Jesus, we strengthen the powerless; like Jesus, we seek to renew our own strength in quiet times of prayer.
Sermon: Pastor Kathryn Gulbranson
