Greetings,
"Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." This stirring and poetic line comes from this Sunday's reading from the Hebrew Scriptures. It is found in the book of Isaiah. This Sunday's Gospel is concerned with healing, resting, praying and proclaiming. I am going to look at what these two passages say about renewal, what it means in a faith context and what it might look like within the church at both the individual and community level.
We will be celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion. It may seem that we gathered at the Table rather recently, but that was because in January we celebrated Communion on the third Sunday of the month, what with New Year's Day and Cinnamon Bun Sunday. February puts us back on track for Communion of the first Sunday of the month
The two readings for Sunday are Isaiah 40: 21-31 and Mark 1: 29-39
I've titled my Sermon: "The Shall Mount Up With Wings"
