Epiphany experiences

Posted on January 8, 2010 by theoldadam

Law & Gospel Thursday, January 7

KFUO Host: Rev. Tom Baker
KFUO MP3 audio
Open Lines (54 Minutes) Pastor Baker discusses epiphany experiences in light of the Word of God.

___________________________________________

If you can listen in for about 15 or 20 minutes, I think you’ll hear some interesting thoughts on why Lutherans place such an emphasis on Word and Sacrament.
