Starting from Scratch: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Epiphany Sunday and Communion Sunday. Rev. Daniel F. Bogre will begin the sermon series, “Starting from Scratch,” with a sermon based on 2 Kings 23:4-16.

In this text we see King Josiah issue a holy “Cleaning Day.”

He tells all of the people it’s time to clean the Judah, Jerusalem, and the Temple.

He cleaned out all of the false gods, idols, and altars and had them burned into dust.

They were all of the things getting in the way of the covenant that God had made with his chosen people so long ago.

What is getting in the way of our relationship with Jesus Christ. What are the things that we need to clean out of our lives because they are in the way.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

It’s cleaning day!
