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

    While examining the word that came to John "Prepare the way of the Lord" this sermon discusses the life-giving influence that occurs when God sends His word and discusses what it means to prepare the way of the Lord.

    Prepare the Way of the Lord Luke 3:1-18[1] 1-2-05 The action in our text this morning begins with a powerful Hebrew statement. Luke 3:2 “...the word of the Lord came to John...” When God wants to strike a holy match and set His people on fire, that is the match He uses—“the word of the Lord ...read more

     | 20,968 views

    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

    This is a series of three mini-sermons to be preached with the lessons of the day for the Baptism of Jesus Sunday (Isaiah 43:1-7; Romans 6:1-11; Luke 3:15-22). It works well to have the reader read the lessons during the sermon.

    Isaiah 43:1-7; Romans 6:1-11; Luke 3:15-22 This morning’s sermon is going to be a little different as we celebrate the Baptism of Christ. I say a little different because as we look at Jesus Baptism, and by way of that, our own baptism and what it means to us, we’ll find that each of our Bible ...read more
