    When the Pharisees approach John the Baptist demanding to know his credentials John never responds with who he is, but who he knows and who he represents. Learn the value of being an agent for Jesus Christ.

    How do you want people to think of you? I guess it depends on the situation-and your age. When I was younger I wanted to be cool, and I was so not. Today I could be thought of in many roles: husband, son, father, pastor, writer, or musician. When I’m with other pastors I could want to be thought of ...read more

    John the Baptist was not out in the wilderness pursuing fame or fortune. He was calling for repentance, a change in life style. Repentance is an about face from sinful behavior to a life that imitates Jesus, that produces "fruit". (Gal. 5) Sadducees and

    Behold The Lamb Of God Series

    John the Baptist is a great model of Christian ministry - he's willing to direct people away from himself to Jesus. he wants the glory to go to Jesus not himself and points others to Jesus even at his own cost.

    I like John the Baptist. He’s such a contrast to the dominant model of the celebrity today. I assume you’ve noticed how important the cult of the celebrity is today. When celebrities speak it’s all about them. It’s just assumed that everyone is interested in what ...read more

    Opposition actually helps us grow. Hostility is destructive not only of others, but also of one’s self; and it spreads without reason. Jesus named its absurdity and then left it in the hands of God. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    Stress strengthens. That is a physical fact. It is also a spiritual truth. Stress strengthens. When we face opposition, we grow. When we deal with differences, we become stronger. Strange as it may sound, give thanks when you are opposed! For stress strengthens; enmity empowers; and ...read more

    Jesus understands us as we are, but loves us into what we may become. With Peter, he loved the Type A person; with James, the passive-aggressive; with John, the immature -- all into effectiveness. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    History is full of stories of betrayal. Those who look like friends sometimes turn on you. Some of us have friends who would sell us for even less than Judas’ thirty pieces of silver if they could! Personally, I wish I could get at least ten cents on the dollar for everything I have loaned to ...read more

    This year, Christmas will fall on Sunday. This year people will be faced with a decision of whether Sunday worship will be a matter of "convenience" or "cost." What can we learn form the ministry of John the Baptist that will help us to make the right dec

    This benediction (composed from various songs, scriptures and traditions) encourages believers to bless God and asks God's blessings upon them. This is shared in honor of my birth church - The New Metropolitan Baptist Church - where it was composed.

    The Benediction Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! - Why? Because: God and God alone created everything we call our own; From the mighty to the small, the glory of them all, is God’s and ...read more

    It is clear to us all that John the Baptist came ahead of Jesus Christ to prepare the way and to make things right. Whatever position you hold in the Church, don’t be too shy, don’t be a rebellious type

    Aim: Jesus has been around for almost thirty years but nobody really heard about him except when he was twelve years old when he was seen in the temple and nothing was heard about him until this time he appeared at the river where John was baptizing.

    The Baptism Of John Series

     | 4,978 views

    Re-baptism is a practice of some Baptist churches. This message looks at re-baptism in the New Testament, and discusses how when a person’s baptism is done under the wrong belief system, then the individual needs to be re-baptized.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “The Baptism of John.” We have recently been learning about baptism, and today, I am going to be discussing false baptisms; and the best way to present this message is by looking at what the New Testament refers to as “the baptism of John.” This was a ...read more

     | 2,977 views

    Fire is a fierce, frightening force and we do not usually associate it with Jesus. However, this message shows how Jesus came bringing what John the Baptist calls an “unquenchable fire,” referring to God's judgement.

    A teenager walked into the local Catholic church and sat down in the confessional booth. He wanted to talk about how strict his mother had been with discipline, as he was seeking a sympathetic ear.
