A Wilderness of Imagination

Scott C. Williamson
Robert H. Walkup Professor of Theological Ethics

Mark 1:9-15

Sometimes along the straight and narrow way that Mark describes, we get lost in the wilderness. At times we find ourselves meandering in the wilderness, unable to find our bearings, or get any forward momentum along the way. At times we find ourselves at a crossroads, unable to resolve which path to take. Listen to the sermon. Read the sermon in PDF.

Whatever the Day Brings

Susan R. Garrett
Professor of New Testament

Romans 8:11-17
LPTS Baccalaureate Sermon
May 18, 2008

In this Baccalaureate service focusing on baptism, Dr. Garrett explores how our new life in Christ is possible, and how we should live our lives to fulfill the promise of our baptism. Our new life comes about because of a death—Jesus’ death, in which as Christians we share. But death couldn’t hold Jesus, and it can’t hold us, either. Listen to the sermon. Read the sermon in PDF
