    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,411 views

    It is a kind of weather-gauge as to your communion, whether you are proud or humble. If you are going up, God is going down in your esteem. "He must increase," said John the Baptist of the Lord Jesus; "but I must decrease."

    GOT LIFE? Pastor Allan H. Kircher Associate Pastor Shell Point Baptist Church NARRATIVE COPY Delivered 2/15/09 How do we really see ourselves? And what do we do to observe ourselves as others see us? Don’t we usually look in a mirror? Have you ever considered that everything we see in ...read more

    Mark offers us a deep look into the call to repent. This sermon, brings us back into the day when all of Jerusalem traveled 25 miles or so to see what John the Baptist was all about. Would you be as dedicated and driven?

    This morning, I want to teach about a topic feared by most Baptists and most conservatives; the ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a pendulum issue. By this I mean that we tend to think issue in extremes. Just as a pendulum swings to both

    The coming of the Messiah was the “hope” of the Israelite people for thousands of years. John the Baptist’s father Zechariah described 5 facets of their hope that was fulfilled in the coming of Jesus Christ. Christmas brings home these five wonderful hope

    After introducing us to John the Baptist, Mark then moves quickly into presenting Jesus as the Servant on the Move! We see in these verses 3 snapshots of Jesus’ life up until the time that he began His public ministry in Galilee.

    The Gospel of Mark #2 – “1st Impressions of the Servant” Mark 1:2-15 Intro – 1. They say, “You never get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression!” 2. ILL – A convenience store manager in Allston, MA related the following story. “I’m in the store ...read more

    Sermon for Advent 3, year C. John the Baptist sent his disciples to Jesus wanting to know why Jesus allowed him to remain in jail. Jesus quoted the prophet Isaiah back to him, and said, "rejoice."

    Preparing for 2020 John, Jesus, and Joy: Listening to the right prophet. I do not wear pink very often (unless I lose a bet, like today…). But, there is one service in the church year where the priest can wear pink vestments. Rose Sunday, or the Sunday of Joy… Today. I didn’t want to wear ...read more

     | 5,551 views

    Jesus seems to speak about two comings of Elijah, one that lies in the future “to restore all things” and another in their immediate past concerning John the Baptist, who would call the nation to repentance. Those days are here again!

    1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 1Ki 18:17 ¶ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,569 views

    In John's prologue of his gospel, he refers to the person and work of the forerunner of God's Messiah. John the Baptist had the honor of being that individual and was one of a long line of biblical witnesses to the promise of the coming Redeemer.

    John the Baptist is described in the opening verse of John's Gospel as a man who was sent from God to bear witness of the Light that is the Lord Jesus Christ. John made it clear, however, that the Baptist was not that light. There had been disciples of John the Baptist who had carried his ...read more

    Gabriel, God's messenger, told Zechariah that John would be great before the Lord. What made the Baptist great? If we can discover the answer to this query, we will know how we may be great before the Lord.

    “Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, ...read more

    The Holy Ghost And Fire

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 6, 2025
     | 1,036 views

    John the Baptist declared that Jesus would baptise us with the Holy Ghost and fire. This fire is not destructive like natural fire but purifying, empowering, and refining. It is the fire that burns out sin, fuels passion, ignites purpose, and brings spiritual boldness.

    THE HOLY GHOST AND FIRE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 3:11 Supporting Texts: Acts 2:1-4, Luke 24:49, Isaiah 4:4, Acts 10:38, Romans 12:11 INTRODUCTION: The coming of the Holy Ghost is not just a theological concept but a divine encounter that transforms ordinary men into vessels of ...read more

    Christ Followers can anticipate persecution from the world. However, they are called to live holy, gentle lives in the midst of a fallen world, honouring the Father through righteous lives and by inviting the lost salvation in Christ.

    “When Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

    It is good to follow the crowds who listen to the Gospel, but it is better to follow the Jesus whom we preach!

    THE MESSAGE FROM THE RIVER JORDAN. Mark 1:1-15. There is a huge geological fault in the earth’s surface separating ancient Judah from the mountains of Moab.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,414 views

    Do we want the favor of God on our lives? As we study the life of Gideon, and others from the bible we will understand what those pre-requisites are for God’s favor to rest on us, and all we do.

    We read in Judges 6:17-19, So Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Please do not depart from here, until I come back to you, and bring out my offering and lay it before you.” And He said, “I will remain until you ...read more

    For Jesus to be the “the Lamb of God” meant the Messiah HAD TO suffer. Yet, to think that the Messiah would suffer was as preposterous as thinking you could swim across the Atlantic.
