For 15 January 2017, 2nd Sunday, based on John 1:29-34
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.†And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.â€

Dearest S. Magdelan,
Your preaching was very beautiful. It is so very true that “the sin of the world has gone over the top.” Yet, as you said we must forgive as God forgives. We must follow Jesus………..you have touched hearts with your words. We are so grateful for you & this website. JoAnn & Phil
