"Now Is The Time!"

Contributed by Daniel Schroeder on Jan 7, 2002

Sometimes we aren’t sure if “now” is the right time for things. At the Jordan River, about 30 years after Jesus was born, now was the time. Time for what? It’s time for Jesus to be baptized.

“Now Is The Time!” I. For Jesus to step in line with sinners (13-15) II. For the Father to state a line of acceptance (16-17) Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, “When it’s the right fit, it’s the right fit. You know it. I just felt it.” That was the quote in the newspapers headlines ...read more

Going To See Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 2, 2001

Judas … The Fallen Disciple Series
