    Baptism Divides God's Church But Should Unite It

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 8, 2014
     | 4,156 views

    John the Baptiser preached repentance and Jesus who had no sin was baptised by John, and the first Christians were baptised. The church should be united with regard to this Sacrament or Ordinance but is sadly divided over belief and practice.

    Text: Luke 3: 21 and 22 ‘After all the people had been baptised, Jesus also was baptised and a voice came down from heaven, ...read more

    Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their inability to discern the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). The signs of our times seem to be indicating an increasing hostility toward Christianity, which has lost its place as the nation’s primary guiding ethic.

    You can run but you can’t hide. That’s certainly true today, amen?

    We often panic when our brook dries up, whether it’s a job, a relationship, a source of income, or even a ministry opportunity. But when God allows a brook to dry up, it is not a sign of abandonment—it is a sign of transition.

    Baptismal sermon urging a bold witness for new Christians.

    Tonight we are going to observe the ordinance of Baptism. That is one way that we publicly proclaim Jesus as our Savior and Lord. I recently had someone ask me about a private baptism.
