The Unsettling Spirit Of Pentecost

06/05/2015 Duração: 22min

A sermon from when I was in seminary, age 26. Coincidentally, this sermon was about the same story as the sermon "What Did We Get Ourselves Into?" which I just preached in March of this year (2015). I delivered this on March 16, 2003 at Scott United Methodist in Denver, CO. (Wow, was I young, and a little bit cocky, but it was a fun place to preach and still fun to listen to today.)
