"Prepare Ye The Way!"

We don't always know what to do with John the Baptist. The locust-eating wildman who preaches repentance and calls his flock a "brood of vipers" (generally a poor pastoral strategy) doesn't make his way onto many Christmas cards. In this week's sermon, Rev. Meyers explores how John's message, while definitely prickly, is ultimately one of hope in troubled times.
