    Looking at the baptism of Jesus, this sermon explores many of life’s questions that are answered by the relationship to God established at our baptism.

    Luke 3: 15 – 17; 21-22 – Answers To A Questioning Heart Intro: Recently, when I was having my hair cut, one of the hairdressers made an off-color remark using a profanity. One of the patrons to whom I had just been introduced as a pastor quickly remarked to her, “There’s a preacher here! What ...read more

    Why did Jesus, the sinless Son of God have to be baptised, when baptism identifies the baptised with sin

    Luke 3:21-23 Story: In her famous book and film, “The Hiding Place” Corrie ten Boom tells the story of a Dutch Christian family, her family, who had a heart for the Jewish people Her grandfather Wilhelm started a weekly prayer group in 1844 in the city of Haarlem, near Amsterdam for the ...read more

    “John answered saying to all, ‘I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire’” Luke 3:16.

    Today is the first Sunday in 2007 and what better way to begin it than with the Holy Spirit. We all need the Holy Spirit since we are spiritual beings and can only function when we are spiritually alive. Our spiritual life comes from the Holy Spirit and a person without the Holy Spirit is ...read more

    How is the soil of your heart? Are you ready to receive what God has to say? Learn what true repentance means and doesn’t mean in the ministry of John the Baptist.

    Let me say first of all that I am not the gardener in our family - that’s my wife. I am the assistant gardener. But I have learned a thing or two over the years. One is that without adequate soil preparation your garden will not grow plants, it will simply grow seedlings that will be eaten by ...read more

    Jesus Was Baptized Too

    On this “Baptism of Jesus” Sunday we might very well ask what John asked. Why did Jesus need to be baptized? Like John it is also good for us to see our need for baptism by Jesus.

    John the Baptist. That name brings powerful images to mind. Camel’s hair clothes held together with a leather belt. Grasshoppers dipped in wild honey for a sweet and crunchy meal. Saying the morally right thing at the socially wrong time. John was the one who called the people who came to hear ...read more

Have you ever been faced with a quandary from God’s word – you’ve read something and you just don’t understand why it happened that way? Well I’ve been in ...read more

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    Today is our first Sunday in the new year. What better way to begin this new year then talking about the baptism of the soul. When you think of baptism what images come into your mind? Do you think of infant sprinklings or full immersions whether in a baptismal font or in a river? What other forms ...read more

    There is a fundamental difference of me looking directly into my sons eyes and saying, "You are my beloved son," and if I were to put my arm around him and say to you, "this is my beloved son." One is a private declaration, one is a public demonstration.

    This is Thou Art Text: Luke 3:21,22; Matthew 17:5 Luke 3:21-22 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, ...read more

    Even in this day and age, the voice of hope has not been silenced. The cry still comes to each one of us in the wilderness of our lives, to repent and reconcile with the one who is holding the door to the Kingdom.

    Luke 3:15-17; 21-22 15. And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 16.

    Through our baptism, we become brothers and sisters in Christ and heirs to the kingdom.

    Welcome to the Family Being baptized means being welcomed into God’s family. Now, when you’re “welcomed”, that usually means that you are arriving someplace. You are just getting there, just beginning the visit. You aren’t “welcomed” as you are leaving after a visit, right? ...read more
