Title:
William H. Willimon - "A Voice in the Wilderness" (December 4, 1988)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 23:48. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 46:12.

  • The preacher argues that wilderness is not a place but a state of mind. He offers a metaphor to describe a terrifying situation without clear paths, bringing chaos, temptation, and bewilderment. Like a poet, John the Baptist’s voice in the wilderness enables people to name their difficulties and ready their hearts for the good news of Jesus Christ.
