    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas.

It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    3rd Sunday in Lent, Series B. Preached 3/15/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa

    Our Gospel reading for this morning is one that tends to catch a lot of people off guard.

    I found it rather interesting that out of all the Sundays I could have come to visit your congregation and share a message from God’s Word with you, it had to be this one.
