Fulfilled in Your Ears
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be unto you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. The last three Sundays of this month prior to today were all the beginning and a continuation of a season that we call in the church the season of Epiphany.
