Do We Have Pigeon Religion?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 3, 2022

The Bible does NOT say, "the Spirit came on Jesus as a pigeon." Doves have 8 character differences from pigeons. Just as the dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, so "pigeon religion" is a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit. Let's seek the Dove!

DO WE HAVE PIGEON RELIGION? John 1:29-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A doctor went out and bought a brand new Ferrari GTO, that can top out at 250 mph. He took it out for a spin and stopped at a red light. 2. An old man on a moped pulled up next to him. He asked, “What kind of car ya got there, ...read more

We Come To Jesus In Steps (John 1:29-42) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 4, 2022

No one starts of knowing Jesus, or who he is. And that's okay. What's important, is that you "come to" Jesus, and "abide" with him. You can't come to Jesus, while keeping your (objective) distance.

Beginning in John 1:19, we find ourselves reading the events of a single week in the life of John the Baptist and Jesus. Let's start today by simply rereading 1:19-28, day 1. (19) And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites in order that they ...read more

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on May 24, 2022

How did John foreshadow Jesus' sacrifice? Learn what the phrase "the lamb of God" means. We must tell the story of Jesus as often as possible.

Foreshadowing Jesus’ Fate John 1:19-34 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz John 1:19 This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 They asked him, “What ...read more

The Testimony Of John The Baptist

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 21, 2021

John the Baptist is presented in the prologue of John's gospel as the prophesied forerunner to the arrival of God's Messiah. He prepared the people of Israel for the Messiah by preaching repentance and obedience. Repentance was needed then, and in these last days as well.

So far in John's prologue to his magnificent account of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, we were introduced to the person and ministry of John the Baptist, described as "a man sent from God" (1:6) and who was to "bear witness of the Light" (1:7-8). He bore ...read more

Tell Me The Story Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 7, 2025

How do we tell others the story of Jesus? In our text today we see that it doesn’t require a Bible college education or a deep theological argument. Instead, it’s all about saying “Come and See Jesus”.

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 31, 2025

Is the confession of John the Baptist, combined with the affirmation of God, enough for you to believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Or, do you still need Jesus to perform for you in order that you can be convinced that He is who He said He is?
