This sermon title has all the makings of a country song, don’t you think?! But Faron Young, George Jones, Taylor Swift, and many others have covered wine and weddings better so don’t expect a song from me! You can, however, look forward to a riveting proclamation by Isaiah, a great visual of Jesus at a 7 day wedding, and Paul’s practical description of gifts we should give to each other on any occasion! Perhaps without the wine!

The idea of “watchmen” may be the puzzler in this sermon. In my study, I came across the famous notion of the 100 Year Prayer Watchmen of the Moravians back in the 1700s. Prayer vigils 24/7! We at Kedron are called to prayer and many of us are attempting to say a prayer at noon each day for the year 2016 and during the months leading to our General Conference in Oregon in May. The Lord Prayer is a good one to start with at noon. Continue onward as you are so led.

So, come to church praying and leave praying. Not unlike our Moravian fore bearers and your favorite country singer celebrating a wedding!

Blessings in 2016!
