Sermon Title: “Coming to Life”

Text Notes: One day Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in-law, along with other sick persons. The next morning, while Jesus is praying alone, the disciples search him out to report that everyone is looking for him. Jesus then decides to leave for other villages where he can pursue his mission of preaching.
