Sermons on Jesus Is The Perfect Gift:

Jesus Is Baptised

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 9, 2002

Jesus identifies with us in Baptism

As we come to think about the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, we mustn’t make the mistake of forgetting what comes before it. Matthew has just finished describing John’s ministry of preparation for the coming of the Messiah. His message has been one of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ...read more

Jesus Is Baptised

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 7, 2005

This Jesus, who lowers himself to the depth of us failed human beings, is the Beloved Son of the Living God. His baptism, unnecessary as it was in terms of repentance from sin, nevertheless shows us the importance of submitting to God’s law, God’s will f

I imagine many of you may be unaware that today is the day the church traditionally remembers the baptism of Jesus. So how appropriate that today we should be baptising Caleb. As we just read, Jesus too was baptised, not as a baby, but as an adult, as a sign that he was about to begin his work for ...read more

Jesus Weeps Series

Contributed by Roger Thomas on Feb 21, 2007

This picture, much less this statement, surprises a lot of people. Some people think a deity ought to behave differently. Gods, so the popular image goes, sit far off, throw lightning bolts, or send angels. What kind of god would get so close to his su

Dr. Roger W. Thomas, Preaching Minister First Christian Church, Vandalia, MO Jesus Wept John 11:25-27; 33-36 Just two little words. In fact it’s the shortest verse in the Bible.

The Redeemed Will Be With Jesus Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012

The human mind can take only so many pictures of tragedy before it needs an infusion of hope. That is what chapter 14 is, a picture of victory. In this chapter, John is given seven visions that show the triumph that lies ahead for those who follow the L

In our study, we are in the middle of the great tribulation. Satan is unleashing the fury of his wrath on earth. He sends forth his own spirit to enter into one man and he uses this man to offer the perfect utopia to the world amidst all the chaos. This man is the antichrist and Satan is going ...read more

Ashamed Of Jesus?

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 9, 2017

In 1765, Joseph Grigg (1720-1768) of England wrote the wonderful words of the song "Jesus and Shall It Ever Be," which proposes several answers to the question, "Ashamed of Jesus?" The answers are various ways of saying "I will never be ashamed of him!"

Ashamed of Jesus? Things have changed much in this country in the last 40 years. I now find myself surprised when I hear the name of Jesus mentioned in a public setting. Not only have judges handed out rulings that restrict the mention and exhibition of things pertaining to the Christian faith, ...read more

Jesus Sympathizes.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Nov 7, 2021

Paul mentioned Christ as our High Priest before in (Hebrews 2:17,3:1), but did not attempt to prove it until now, which he does at great length in Hebrews 4:13 through Hebrews 10:39) in over 5 and a half chapters.

Jesus Napped

Contributed by William Thompson on Aug 24, 2025

The Bible gives us a beautiful, almost humorous detail about Jesus: He took naps.

How many of you would say you’re tired right now? (Pause, let hands raise and smiles show.) We live in a world that celebrates exhaustion. We wear busyness like a badge of honor. • We brag about how little sleep we got last night: “I only slept four hours, but I still made it to work.” • We ...read more
