Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches on the Fifth Sunday after Epiphany. The Scripture passage is Mark 1:29-39.
The Lord’s empty tomb is divine consolation for sinners who know that death is real. We see the continuity between Jesus’ healing and preaching ministry and the ongoing ministry of the Lord Christ in the Divine Service—thus finding genuine consolation in His death and resurrection and true healing in the reception of His body and blood. Here we are invigorated in hope and prepared for coping with adversity.

Pastor Marc Sharp continues with Part 5 of the current series that is an epic journey through the New Testament Gospel of Mark, verse by verse. The book of Mark was most likely the first one written, and is generally attributed to John Mark, a close associate of Peter, and also of Paul and Barnabas. The Gospel of Mark is all about Jesus and the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom of God. How do we become members of this kingdom? Who was Jesus really, and why exactly did he come?

5th Sunday after the Epiphany Based on Mark 1:29–39 The Rev. Anton Lagoutine
Immanuel United Church of Christ - Shillington PA Sunday February 7th 2021 9am Worship Sermon
Our faith in God, our life with God was embodied in Jesus, and any faith or belief in Jesus that does not deeply and richly involve our bodies in this life is a heretical faith and belief in Jesus. After healing people all night, Jesus got up early the next morning to go pray, and when his disciples found him, he said, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do.” The message he proclaimed in their synagogues included healing people and casting out demons. If we want to evangelize, if we want to proclaim our faith, then our ministry will include and even be defined by a ministry of healing. Jesus’ ministry is a ministry of physical healing. Jesus’ ministry is societal healing. Jesus’ ministry is working for justice. Jesus’ ministry is “dealing with the issues that hurt the poor, the brokenhearted, the sick, the left out, the least of these, the stranger, and all of those who are made to feel unacceptable,” for if it is of healing, it is of Jesus.

In today’s sermon – the final in what has turned out to be an unintentional mini-series – I want to capture the spirit of hope in Mark’s gospel as many who seek Christ are healed of the maladies which lead them to turn to him in the first place and offer hope as well for those among the all who are not healed in the way they had hoped. Rev. Larry Hayward preaches on the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany. The Scripture lesson is Mark 1:29-39.
We exist to ignite a passion in every person to glorify and enjoy God everywhere and in everything.
We're starting off our Crazy Busy series by studying the story where Jesus goes viral. He's spent thirty quiet years on this planet, his ministry has recently begun and then this happens. There's crowds all over the place, disciples are scrambling and Jesus gives us a heads up on how to handle busy. One thing for sure, we have busy lives and that's not going to change much. But, today we take a lesson on how Jesus keeps busy from being crazy busy. Check this out.
We are curious creatures! When we drive by an accident we naturally slow down to see what has happened. In Christ's early ministry there was much to see. People were drawn to his miraculous wonders...and sadly many of them missed the message of redemption. It is possible to be amazed with Jesus and miss out on his wonderful offer of salvation!
Deep down all people are looking for Christ Everyone needs meaning in their lives Christ came to tell us that Life does have meaning. Jesus Christ and his love is the meaning of everything.

*Due to technical difficulties, this sermon was not recorded. Download the PDF to read it!* Whenever we hear a Biblical story about healing, we likely react in one of several ways: Our eyes may immediately be drawn to our own experience; we may think of people who have experienced some kind of healing; we may wonder about – and even be angry over – those near to use who have not been healed. When I chose to preach on this passage today, what attracted me was one simple sentence at the outset of the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law: Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them. Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches on Mark 1:29-39.

Why is it that other people's deadlines, other people's wants and needs tend to dictate the flow of our week? And why do we spend so much time sorting through stuff? In this message, Max Vanderpool highlights the three unspoken priorities that tend to drive life in America: (1) taking care of the house, (2) meeting the next deadline and (3) keeping people in our life relatively happy. Unfortunately, living that way is NO WAY TO LIVE. It's time to truly prioritize.

Connecting People to God in Christ
On the job training. That’s what Jesus offers those who follow Him. Just after calling His first Disciples, Jesus gave them on the job training. Serving as an example, Jesus showed His Disciples that following Him was more than just belonging to a group. Following Jesus is more than just a religious affiliation. Following Jesus is about more than sticking to what you know. Following Jesus is about following the one who leads in front of us. This week we will discover together that Jesus’ followers talk the talk.
Jesus' fame spread for his healing, but when folks gathered around looking for him, Jesus told his disciples that he wanted to go on to the surrounding region of Galilee to preach the gospel there also, for that is what he had come to do. The beginning of my call as a priest involved reading the Bible and seeing time and again how the religion of Israel eclipsed the God and the Kingdom of God which the religion was meant to connect people to and help them live. I noticed the same thing with Christianity, ways in which love of "church" as institution got in the way of people's discipleship of Jesus and living out the Kingdom of God. Then, two weeks ago, Bishop Doyle in his address to Diocesan Council said that for too long the church has been clergy led with lay support. He wants to see a church that is lay led with clergy support. Those words spoke directly to my call. We are to live out our lives as Jesus' disciples though service, evangelism, and reconciliation. The structures and institution of the church is here to help us in this way of life, not to do it for us. True service means not only charity (largely crisis care), but serving with, building people up through mutual service, relationship, and digging deep into the causes of need, not just band-aids on the symptoms. True evangelism in not standing on a street corner with a bullhorn. That's what crazy people do. Evangelism means invitation into conversation, sharing the deep parts of ourselves with others. Conversation does not mean conversion. We share intimately our faith in order to know others and to be known by them. They are not required to adopt our faith. We invite others to worship with us, to share in our way of life, to introduce them to Jesus. If they believe, then great. If not, then they can still belong as we connect on the deep heart to heart, bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh level. True reconciliation means sitting down with our enemies, the people whose beliefs we abhor, those who have hurt us, and truly listening to them. Reconciliation means seeking to know them also on the heart to heart level. Reconciliation means also learning how we have hurt the other. Doing so is painful. It cuts us, and we bleed, but as we saw in the cross of Jesus, reconciliation requires blood. Service, evangelism, reconciliation, a church that is lay led with clergy support. In these ways we live into Jesus' mission to go into Galilee and preach the gospel, for that is what he has formed us to do.

This week we will seek to remember that prayer is more dangerous than we suppose. Afterall, prayer is the fuel to the fire of God’s movement among us. Perhaps we should not take prayer quite so casually.

How is Jesus making you strong like "The Picture of Dorian Grey"?
Two helpful thoughts to consider as we think about God's healing.

Following Jesus. Everyone needs a sense of direction. In Jesus we find someone we can follow. When we follow Jesus he leads us to our Father.
