From Series: "Surprised by Jesus " God rarely speaks in an audible voice. But during the early days of Jesus’ ministry he did so twice. On both occasions his message was the same: “This is my Son.” It’s a shocking statement with astonishing implications that unfold in surprising ways in the opening chapters of the gospels. Join us this Epiphany season and let Jesus surprise you once again as we meet him in the early days of his ministry.
