    “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.

    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

    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

    Brood Of Vipers

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Dec 14, 2006

     | 7,086 views

    What drove the man who wore rags rather than “Botany 500” was being true to God’s calling on his life – making certain his generation understood genuine faith and power. There have always been a lot of mistaken ideas about that.

    John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, ’We have Abraham as our ancestor’; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up ...read more

    Luke 3:1-18 “Discover the Christ Who Changes Lives” INTRODUCTION Some people remember a mere six years ago, when the world faced the prospect of entering the new millennium. It was a fearful and stressful time. We didn’t know what would happen. People were making dire predictions, like the ...read more
