A Welcoming Church Family Exploring Progressive Christian Theology
December 8, 2013

The Polk County Wilderness

Preacher: Nathan Willard
Passage: Matthew 3:1-12

John the Baptist’s life in the margins, among a marginal people, and their vision for the future calls us to wonder where the unheard voices in our own lives might be. What drives people to the wilderness, and how can we bring them back in?

Topics: boundaries, Margins
« Come, Let Us Walk in the Light of the Lord Prophetic Imperfection »
