    Fishers Of Men (January 22, 2017).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 4,186 views

    After John the Baptizer was arrested, Jesus began His ministry. Jesus comes in and calls His disciples to be “fishers of men” against the backdrop of John the Baptizer’s arrest.

    FISHERS OF MEN Text: Matthew 4:12-23 Paul Harvey once said, “We’ve drifted away from being fishers of men to being keepers of the aquarium.” (Roy B. Zuck. ed. The Speaker’s Quote Book . Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1997, p. 134). Is he right? Have we become keepers of ...read more

    John the Baptizer is an example of the kind of man God calls.

    GJ Branham Nashville A/G Jun. 27, 2004 "A Man Sent From God" Jn. 1:6-8, 15, 19-27 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself ...read more

    The Need To Be Baptized

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021
     | 1,541 views

    Jesus who was without sin, got baptized to identify with all sinners that He came to save. He was tempted just as we are. Jesus is the lamb of God who came to take away our sin (John 1:29). Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). Without Jesus we cannot be right with God.

    Matthew 3:13-17  Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.  (14)  John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”  (15)  But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us ...read more

    Why leave John the Baptizer and go follow the Galillean Rabbi Jesus instead?

    Sam was confused. He had been following John for - how long had it been? Almost a year, he thought, it was just before the grape harvest and his parents had been really upset that he hadn’t stayed until the work was finished. But Sam just had to go. The Messiah was due soon, everybody knew it, and ...read more

    John the Baptizer’s call for repentance calls us to live the live we already know.

    As I reminisce on Christmas this year a few movies come to mind. It’s a wonderful life, miracle on 34th street; a Christmas story is my favorite. Another favorite is the edited version of Christmas Vacation. That movie is full of hilarious scenes and the one I believe to be my favorite changes ...read more

    God has sent John the Baptizer to point us to Christ, the King.

    A Righteous Branch Luke 1: 67 - 78 Intro: Thanksgiving is coming. It is that time of year when many people travel to be with family. These and many other questions prevail as weary parents travel being trapped in a car with their small children. “Are we there yet?” “How much longer?” “Can we ...read more

    EPIPHANY 1 - God's Son is baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus came to his Father's work. The Father praises our humble worker.

    GOD’S SON IS BAPTIZED (Outline) January 9, 2011 - Epiphany 1 - MATTHEW 3:13-17 INTRO: Mankind’s sinfulness needs God’s forgiveness. Jesus came into this world as the very love and mercy of God. Jesus did not travel from place to place with fanfare. Jesus did not ...read more

    Jesus Was Baptized Too

    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

    Jesus stumps the religious leaders who try to trap Him with questions about His authority. We need a Christ with authority from heaven, not earth. As Christians we battle against our flesh, which wants to follow the rules of the world were it is king instead of Christ.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Check and Checkmate” You ever play chess? I’ve played it all of a handful of times. It’s on a board similar to a checkerboard, but it has all ...read more

    Thou Shalt Be Dumb (Advent Sermon 3 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 6, 2022
     | 871 views

    Zechariah and Elizabeth were a devout couple who did not have any children. We see in today’s text a lack of faith---unbelief. Then, one day the angel Gabriel showed up and told him that God was going answer His prayers and that Elizabeth would give birth to a son who was to be named John.

    THOU SHALT BE DUMB Text: Luke 1:5- 25 Luke 1:5-25 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. (6) And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the ...read more

    Water baptism does not save you, but every believer should be baptized, because Jesus, Himself, commanded it. He said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

    It didn't just happen. Jesus sought out John and traveled a good distance for no other purpose than to be baptized. So why did Jesus want to be baptized?

    Like John the Baptizer we need to be reminded from time to time that Jesus is our promised Messiah.

    Jesus our Promised Messiah Matthew 11:1-6 John the Baptizer was now in prison for preaching about the Kingdom of God. He sent his disciples to ask Jesus question: “Are you really the Messiah we’ve been waiting for, or should we keep looking for someone else?” (Matthew 11:3 NLT) This question ...read more
