Grace Upon Grace – A Sermon On John 1:1-18
Pecan pie. That’s what I thought about as I was reading today’s gospel (John 1:1-18) and preparing for this sermon. I thought about pecan pie. I know, it’s a strange connection but stick with me.

It’s happened in my life and I’ll Read more

They are two parts of the same story and I don’t think we can fully understand today’s without the context of last week’s Last week I said that John the Baptist was asking us to confront ourselves and look at the landscape Read more
