    Jesus’ baptism was a transition from the tranquil world of his father’s carpenter shop into his Father’s world of kingdom building.

    My parents owned a small neighborhood grocery. Our house was located directly behind the store. As a child my world revolved around that store. People who bought their groceries there weren’t just customers, they were friends. The man who operated a road grader always stopped to drink a coke ...read more

    Jesus Is Baptised

    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

    A look at the greatness of John and his baptism of Jesus

    JOHN THE BAPTIZER 1. Matthew tells us nothing about the childhood of Jesus. Instead, he offers us chapter 3 as a transition between Jesus as a young child (Matthew 2) and the adult Jesus being tempted in the wilderness (Matthew 4). 2. Matthew 3 emphasizes the work of John the Baptizer. John ...read more

    A Tale Of The Unexpected !

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 10, 2006

     | 4,082 views

    John was shocked when the sinless Jesus asked to be baptised. Jesus identifies with us in his baptism. We identify with him when we are baptised and we too can receive God’s Spirit! Truly this is a tale of the unexpected.

    The Baptism of Jesus must surely qualify as a ‘Tale of the Unexpected’! Have you ever been somewhere or seen something which was the exact opposite of what you were expecting? Have you ever been waiting expectantly for an event, only for the event itself to come as a total surprise or even a big ...read more

    Martin Luther said, “baptism is something we do in the church one day, but it takes the rest of our lives to finish. In baptism we have new life in Christ, but as babes who are brought to its waters continue to grow, we too must continue to grow, to obe

    Fire fills us with fear and yet Jesus came to baptised us also in fire. There must be then something about God’s fire that we need to find.

    Baptized in fire Matthew 3:11 There is a new term under theologians – historical criticism. According to this theory it means that we can not take the Bible just as it is but we have to be very critical about the Bible. The Bible, according to them, is just a lot of books decided by mere men to ...read more

    The Bible says that the Spirit of God is the Person who produces peace and patience and power in our lives. If I want more peace, more patience and more power, then I must want an ongoing influence of God’s Spirit in my life.

    This past week, my patience and peace were being tested. Maryanne and I had gone to Texas for the weekend to a pastors and wives meeting. We had scheduled a non-stop flight from Dallas to Cleveland that would get us home at 6:00 on Tuesday afternoon. We had a great trip but we were ready to be ...read more
