Jason Micheli is the Pastor of Annandale United Methodist Church in Annandale, Virginia, and the author of Cancer Is Funny: Keeping Faith in Stage-Serious Chemo and Living in Sin: Making Marriage Work between I Do and Death (both from Fortress). His sermon for the Second Sunday of Advent is from Matthew 3:1-12 and it’s called: “Advent for Average Sinners.” Micheli explores John the Baptist’s message to a “brood of vipers” and how we can apply this message to our lives today.

This sermon is from A Sermon for Every Sunday, a series of lectionary-based video sermons designed for use in worship, Bible study, small groups, Sunday school classes or for individual use.
