Sermon: Our Fellowship By His Word and Blood
An audio recording of Carl’s sermon from June 24 based on 1 John 1:7 is posted. He was the guest preacher at Arcadia Lutheran, which is the mission congregation that meets on the seminary campus. There are people from all over South Africa, other African countries, and even from around the world that worship there. As part of the teaching on God’s creation and sustaining of fellowship of His people, Carl took a quick survey of mother-tongue languages present at that worship service. There were fourteen languages present. You can listen here or go to the Semons page of the website. Apple friendly mp3 file here.
