My First Sermon
I preached my first “official” sermon at The Well this past Sunday. The title of the sermon is, “The Glorification of God in Jesus Christ,” and was on John 13:18-38 as part of our church’s series through the Gospel of John. You can listen to the sermon here, or peruse the archive of past sermons. The entire podcast is 34:30, including the Apostles’ Creed and the Scripture reading. My sermon is exactly 30 minutes; I start speaking at the 4:30 mark, on the dot.
I welcome any feedback. I look forward to presenting the Word of the Lord to such a loving, caring congregation in the future. It’s a joy to serve God in this way.

Byron, I would say that I come from an ecclesial context in which 30 minute sermons are typical. That said, I also very much appreciate the shorter homilies of the liturgical tradition. I hope to keep future sermons in the 20-minute ballpark. Blame my prolixity!
