Here's part 3 of 4 of the accidental sermon series on John 3:16, talking about belief and the man born blind.

Guest Speaker: Bishop Jeff Mello
This past Sunday St. Mark’s welcomed our new bishop, the Rt. Rev. Jeff Mello, for a visit!
The Vision
A story sermon about Peter's vision on the mountaintop and his desire to see as God sees for the rest of his days.
New Ministry
This weekend, I preached at the Celebration of New Ministry for a friend and colleague instead of preaching at St. Mark's. Here is the sermon I offered at the service on Saturday.

We don’t know exactly what because we only have Paul’s side of the story. But we know that within a few years of its founding, fractures have appeared between the church’s members.
