"A Bloody Shame"


Recently I attened a chapel service here at Southern Seminary. The speaker was my preaching professor Dr. Hershael York. His sermon was entitled "A Bloody Shame." There have been sermons in the past that have had a great impact on my life and doctrine, but few have refocused my eyes and life on the Christian journey as this message has.

You would do well to listen to and refelct on the words of this message from a very weird text from the book of Exodus. I hope and know that you will enjoy.
