    Sermon: "Water and Wilderness"

    Sermon: "Water and Wilderness"

    Sermon.02.21.21.Lent.I St. Paul’s Episcopal – Brookings Fr. Larry V. Ort Genesis 9.8-17; Psalm 25.1-9; 1 Peter 3.18-22; Mark 1.9-15 Welcome to Lent! Our gospel reading focuses on Jesus’ baptism and temptation in the wilderness.

While they recognized Jesus’ authority, they questioned its source. By Middle Eastern standards, Jesus should have been a carpenter. Where did he receive such authority? After Jesus had cast out

    Sermon.01.31.21. Epiphany4 St. Paul’s Episcopal – Brookings Fr. Larry Ort Deuteronomy 18.15-20; Psalm 111; 1 Corinthians 8.1-13; Mark 1.21-28 Last Sunday, we looked at two radically different responses to God’s call. We considered how Jonah, after attempting to flee God, finally prophesied against Nineveh yet held on to his own idols and resentment. Jonah was truly a reluctant prophet! In contrast, we saw how Andrew, Simon Peter, James, and John, in response to Jesus’ “Follow
