    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jun 15, 2013
     | 2,465 views

    A short talk on father's day at a baptism service. Lots of visitors perhaps not sure about the person and message of Jesus so this is a parable-style short challenge for them.

    (Before the Bible Reading) Does anyone feel as if they could really do with a holiday - somewhere warm and exotic with new foods to taste and a new culture and language to inhabit?

    John the Baptism was anointed to prepare the way for Jesus, but how did he do that? It certainly was not obvious, and not how most people thought. This sermon will get a reaction.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 13th December 2015; St Oswalds is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries.

    The Holy Spirit baptism is and always has been the empowerment for evangelism. Jesus made clear to his disciples the purpose of the infilling of the Holy Spirit they soon were to receive.

    The Sounds Of Pentecost. Acts 1:8TPT The Holy Spirit baptism is and always has been the empowerment for evangelism.

    There are 1000s of different churches with their various views on baptism. Can they all be right? Probably not, but why aren't they all "right"?

    There was an antique collector passing through a small village when he saw an old man chopping wood with an ancient ax. “That’s a mighty old ax you have there,” he remarked. “Yep,” said the villager, “it once belonged to George Washington.” “George Washington??? Not really!" gasped the ...read more

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Dec 6, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 743 views

    While John the Baptist offered forgiveness through baptism, Jesus offers us freedom from the power of sin and the continual presence of God through the Holy Spirit.

    Ever had a phone that's so old it barely works? You know, the kind that freezes every time you try to open an app? And then one day, you get an upgrade - a brand new phone that works perfectly. That's kind of like what Jesus offers us. We're all used to the idea of forgiveness, but Jesus offers us ...read more

    Legitimate Use Of Rituals Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 29, 2024
     | 720 views

    For a person to be declared righteous by God, rituals/sacraments are unnecessary. Justification is by faith alone. So, what is the value of rituals like water baptism and the Lord's Supper? Using Romans 4:11, this message seeks to answer that question.

    Intro Last week we expounded Romans 4:9-12. There Paul used Abraham’s experience to prove circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. In that study, we did not have time to talk about why God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision. If it is of no value for justification, then what is its ...read more

    Just like Peter, we will be enabled, or "powered" by the Holy Spirit once we receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.

    Cleanliness (Leviticus)

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Jul 31, 2019
     | 5,016 views

    The Israelites were taught to use water, a waiting period, and sacrifice to cleanse themselves. We too have the gifts of water (baptism), savior of all time and the final sacrifice.

    Opening and Introduction I grew up in West Texas in a place called Big Spring. It’s a small town with tumbleweeds, oil wells, and loose dust that turns into a dust storm when the wind really starts blowing. One of our really big problems was water, and the water that we had was really hard. If ...read more

    The Sacramental Gifts

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 27, 2018
     | 3,913 views

    Every denomination has its own take on sacrament, and some deny that there are any sacraments, even Baptism, that are normally required for salvation. But Scripture helps us solve the problem.

    Becoming Prepared

    Jesus prepared his disciples to receive the Holy Spirit. We also need a preparation period to understand the gift of the Holy Spirit which we receive through baptism.

    Becoming Prepared John 20:19-23 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz John 20:19 So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “1bPeace be with you.” 20 And ...read more

    A Wedding Banquet Not Just Any Old Party

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 25, 2025
     | 105 views

    All Christians, by their baptism and faith, put on Jesus Christ. That means that like Jesus, we are prophets, priests and kings or leaders. That imposes a moral code, doesn’t it?

    Thirteenth Sunday in Course 2025 (Year C) There are a couple of strange sentences in today’s OT reading that need to be clarified, so you don’t leave church today with question marks on your face.

    Let's Help The World Get "soaked In Christ."

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 7, 2025
     | 76 views

    We have died with Christ through our baptism, our “soaking” in Christ, and so we will live with Him. Persevering through life and suffering we will reign with Him.

    Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Course 2025 Every day we stand with the ten lepers of Luke’s Gospel, raising our voices in the Kyrie Eleison shouting “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us.” And in that prayer, if we truly repent of our many shortcomings, we are cleansed of every “venial” sin. With the one ...read more
