2 Epiphany, January 17, 2010

Text: John 2:1-11

Recorded January 19, 2010, because I TURNED OFF THE MICROPHONE accidentally right at the beginning of the sermon. I tend to deliver the sermon much better live than in my office later... But if you've been following, it's better than nothing! This continues to explore the ways God in Christ has been made known to us, first after his birth, then at his baptism, and now at the Wedding at Cana...

Text: Luke 2:41-52 (TNIV)

Technical difficulties (dead battery) prevented me posting the sermon from the Sunday after Christmas. Great sermon: you should have heard it. (Just kidding.) This week's sermon, Boy Wonder, was inspired by the many teachers I've had, at seminary and afterwards, who were able to convey to me and other students the richness, intelligence, and wisdom of Jesus and the great thinkers who've been inspired by him throughout our history. It was recorded during worship on January 3, 2010 at Church of the Apostles. Visit us at www.ecota.net or search for "Episcopal Church of the Apostles" to befriend us on Facebook.
