This is the audio (29:15) of a Sunday sermon I preached at Redeemer Presbyterian Church (EPC) in Erie, PA, on January 11, 2026. The main text was Matthew 3:1–17. Also read were Isa 42:1–9 and Psalm 140.

This sermon was part of a series on the Gospel of Matthew. All of the sermons I preach at Redeemer are available on the church website (rpcerie.org/services). Some sermons, especially those in a series, I will post here also.
