Forerunning for Christ

Homiletic sermon delivered Sunday December 9, 2007 by Fr John Brian

at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Mission in Madison, Wisconsin.

Focusing on the last passage of Luke Chapter 1, the Birth of John the Baptist and the prophecy of his father Zechariah, with special attention Isaiah 62, Psalm 127 and 1 John 3:1-3 - as well as touching on other scriptures.

These are among the readings appointed for the Birth of John the Baptist during

the preparation period for Holy Nativity in Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church

calendar year.

Last week, for the first time in mission history, excessive snow fall caused cancellations of Sunday services.

Pray for us.
