    There's a lot of confusion in the religious world regarding baptism. In this lesson, we'll survey the NT teaching on the ancient practice and learn the why's behind doing it.

    The words of Ananias in Acts 22:16 are simple to understand. There’s nothing complicated about them. Nothing complex or ambiguous; “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” And yet the religious world of today, ...read more

    This message looks at the prerequisite, the purpose, the plan, and a picture of biblical baptism. Good message to preach at a full immersion baptism.

    BIBICAL BAPTISM Acts 8:26-40 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of ...read more

    John set the stage for Christ but he also provided a model for what would become a sacrament in the church, Baptism

    John the Baptiser This is how it all began! For thirty years Jesus had lived a life of obscurity as the son of Joseph the carpenter. He had been like all the other boys, had grown into a man and took over his father’s business. And now his ministry was about to begin in earnest. But it ...read more

    Meeting Jesus in the waters of baptism.

    THE BAPTISM OF JESUS. Matthew 3:13-17. The baptism administered by John was with a view to the repentance of sins. So, immediately, we are challenged with the thought: why did Jesus make the journey from Galilee to Jordan to be baptised by John (Matthew 3:13)? After all, as John would argue ...read more

    An explanation of the sacrament of baptism.

    Introduction At the beginning of this series, I noted that from time to time we will stop at a text and consider the particular that is brought up. Paul has raised the practice of baptism in his discussion on church unity. Baptism is not the primary issue, but we would do well to stop this ...read more

    How does Matthew 3 relate to Father’s day? You might be surprised.

    Matthew 3 Happy Father’s day! How many fathers are here today? Matthew 3 has a good Father’s day message in it.

This ceremony which has become the norm for almost all Christian churches is also the subject of some division and much misunderstanding. Goal To help us appreciate baptism and its significance. Plan We will look at what is and ...read more

    This message unpacks some of the statements made about baptism and leads the believer, hopefully, to make a clear decision about their own theology of baptism. This message preceded a full immersion, believers' baptism.

    The Gift of Baptism Scripture: Acts 8:26-40 We’re going to consider several passages of scripture today, but this one is the key passage for what I think is the main consideration for today - at least it was for me this week. Today is Baptism Sunday. It’s a very special day in the ...read more
