new children's sermon on John 1:29-42

I sat down to write a children’s sermon on John 1:29-42, and there it was: I’d already posted one, three years ago. Looks like I’ve been at this for about one cycle through the ol’ lectionary. (You can find my earlier version here. You can find my Monday Meditation on this text here. At a […]

John 2:1-12
