Duke Chapel had me back to preach this morning for the Baptism of Our Lord service. You can watch it live on YouTube at 11am EST or anytime thereafter. The sermon begins at 26:50.
Will check it out for sure, Will. FYI – our son who is presently doing his PhD at Oxford on Soren Kierkegaard was baptized in the Church of England yesterday. For a Baptist, Iām amazed at how at peace I am about it all. šš Nonetheless, I reminded him of the Ukrainian farmer who founded the first Baptist Church I pastored after seminary way up in northern Alberta where Jr was born. So convinced was the farmer re full-body immersion as THE Biblical mode of baptism that when he converted from Ukrainian Catholic to Baptist he insisted on being immersed ASAP. Since there was no Baptist church in the immediate, they chopped a hole in the ice at Bear Lake in mid-January and dunked him! Who follows in his train?!?! šš¤£š¤£š
And it was an amazing sermon! Vintage Willimon
