Epiphany, Morning Worship, Sunday January 5, 2025Sermon: And All Were FrightenedAccompanying Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 And All Were Frightened When Herod isn’t happy, no one’s happy. The arrival of the visitors from afar brought tremors to the streets of Jerusalem. Think about it. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This isn’t just three men on three camels.
