Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany

Sermon Text: Mark 1:29-39

"[29] And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. [30] Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. [31] And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them. [32] That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. [33] And the whole city was gathered together at the door. [34] And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. [35] And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. [36] And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, [37] and they found him and said to him, ‘Everyone is looking for you.’ [38] And he said to them, ‘Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.’ [39] And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons."
