    Jesus Is Baptised

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 7, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 3,539 views

    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

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

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit Why is it that we seldom hear a sermon on the Holy Spirit in some of our churches today?

And some need a touch of the fire that is burning in the heart of the ...read more
