Hi Friends!

This text challenges me every time it pops up in the lectionary.  We don't talk about casting out evil spirits very often up here in New England, so I usually end up kind of preaching around it.  But for some reason, I decided to just tackle it head on this week.  And by the end of my sermon, I had the entire church chant with me, "Not Today, Satan!"

I'd call that a success.

Hard to believe next weekend is the first Sunday in February.  We've got another Super Bowl challenge going on at the church - go Pats!
