A sermon preached on Sunday, January 8, 2017, the festival of the Baptism of Our Lord. The audio was recorded at the Praise and Worship service of Bethany Lutheran Church.
Matthew 3:13-17 (NRSV)

13Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. 14John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15
But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness.”
Then he consented.

16
And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.
17
And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”

    Welcome! This blog contains recordings and manuscripts of sermons that I have preached. I understand preaching to be an event, not just words on paper. The recording captures the event of preaching, God's living Word present in Gods living community. The manuscript represents the preparation leading up to the event of preaching.
