The Message of John the Baptist


On Sunday I preached about John the Baptist's message of repentance and talked about how Christians can learn a lot from John's message.  To repent means to have the evidence of the change which took place within an individual.  Salvation in Christ is essential for our eternal security but what comes next?  Christians NEED to "bear fruit in keeping with repentance."

The Baptism of Jesus

Yesterday I preached about the baptism of Jesus which John the Baptist said was going to take place.   John tells us in Luke 3 that Jesus will baptize us with the Holy Spirit and fire.   The reality is that we have two options; turn to Jesus or turn away from Him.   If you turn to Jesus your baptism will be that of the Holy Spirit.   If you turn away from Him the only remaining option is baptism by fire in hell.   I know that is blunt but that is the truth.   There is no getting around it.   This is why it is so important for Christians to tell others about Christ because if we don't, no one else will.

Finding Jesus

Sunday morning I preached about the biggest missing child case in human history; when Mary and Joseph "lost" Jesus in Jerusalem following celebrating the Passover holiday and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.   I cannot even imagine misplacing my children but can you even begin to think about what was going through Mary and Joseph's minds as they were looking for Jesus?   They misplaced God!   That is a big parenting fail if I ever saw one before.   Have you misplaced Jesus in your life?   In my sermon from Sunday I make three statements which help both the Christian and non-Christian avoid misplacing or losing Jesus.      Sermon by Rev.

Fighting Off Temptation

Yesterday I preached about the temptation of Jesus by the devil in the wilderness.   Jesus overcame each of the devils temptations using the Word of God.   We can learn about from these temptations regarding overcoming our own temptation to sin.     Sermon by Rev.
