This (past) Sunday's Sermon: Lent

This past week's sermon was about Lent, specifically why the season is 40 days (a highly significant number Biblically) and the connection between Lent and Baptism.

In response to a supporter, I have also set up podcast via iTunes, which can be accessed by clicking here. Happy listening!

The text for this Sunday was Mark 1.9-13 (below) and the song referenced was Ash Wednesday by Elvis Perkins.


Mark 1.9-13
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.
