Wisdom in the Waters

Preached by Rev. Erik Kindem.

Scripture: Proverbs 8:1-4; Proverbs 8:22-31; Romans 5:1-5

Summary

With 3 infants baptized this Trinity Sunday, the sermon uses the Proverbs text as a place to talk about the crossroad of birth and the crossroad of baptism. _________________________________ The voice of Woman Wisdom rings in our ears this Trinity Sunday. And where does Woman Wisdom stand as she calls? At the crossroads, the gates, the entrances & portals of our lives. Birth is the first of those portals; that place where She who “knit us together in our mother’s womb” bears us from those warm, weightless waters out into the world. And today we’re ushering three children to the 2nd crossroads of their young lives, where Wisdom calls their names once more— here at the Font.
