On 25 June 2023, I had the honor and joy of proclaiming God’s word from Matthew 2 at Faith Presbyterian Church of Olney in Olney, MD—the church where I am currently a member.

Video Recording

You can hear and watch the sermon from Matthew 2 at the link below. Alas, the Zoom recording started a bit late after I had set up the passage, read it, and gotten a few paragraphs into my manuscript. But it’s not difficult to figure things out.

If you would like a manuscript, please contact me.

Order of Worship

Below is the order of worship that provides some liturgical context for the sermon:
