Podcast: Identity

This is the sermon for January 10 – the first Sunday following Epiphany. The scripture reading is from Luke 3, and it tells of the baptism of Jesus, followed by the voice from heaven and descending of the Holy Spirit as a dove. I had some visuals for this sermon, focusing on identity by examining three things in scripture -fire, water, and spirit. I had 12 candles and a bowl of water. As Luke pushes us to focus on the revealed identity Christ, I think we are also challenged to find our identity in Christ.
