This is the audio from the Ash Wednesday chapel service at Anderson University School of Theology and Christian Ministry. The two texts are Isaiah 58:6-11 and Ps. 51:9-10, 16-17. I suspect the readers used the Message. I did not specify a translation for them to read from. I mention it here only because in places the wording of the Message is noticeably different from that of other versions. I suggest that if you load this, you simply listen and attend. It is often my recommendation when I preach. I teach Hebrew Bible. In the days when Biblical Hebrew was the language of everyday culture, all the people came to the synagogue to hear the Word of the Lord. When you listen to the Word of the Lord, you are entering the world of the people of the Bible.
