    Fourth Sunday in Advent Luke 3:1-17 “Elementary Fruits of Repentance” By this time during Advent – barely a week away from Christmas, I think everyone will understand something about preparing for the holidays.

    We need to be transformed by the man and message of John the Baptist before we celebrate Christmas

    Don’t ignore John the baptist We cannot reach the crib unless we pass through John the Baptist. Before we meet the charming infant smiling in the straw, we are confronted by the terrifying figure of John the Baptist. We can’t experience the Joy of Christmas unless we have the repentance preached ...read more

    What stocks does God have his interest in? He only has His interest in two and that is Jesus, His only Son and the Church. (You & I)

    Is God An Investor? John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Generally speaking, there is no comparison to be made between the value of a diamond and that of a grain of corn, yet all ...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

    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

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    Today is our first Sunday in the new year. What better way to begin this new year then talking about the baptism of the soul. When you think of baptism what images come into your mind? Do you think of infant sprinklings or full immersions whether in a baptismal font or in a river? What other forms ...read more

    Brood Of Vipers

    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

    Repentance and Baptism are not religous motions through which we much pass in order to escape judgment. They are life changing events.

    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

    We need to get sober for Christmas. We need to admit Jesus came to save sinners like us. He didn’t come just for people like drug dealers and dead beat parents. He came for mass murders and terrorists as well as nice people like you and me.

    Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will pray the last verses of Psalm 139. REPENTANCE POINT {paradigm shifts or changes in our thinking}: We need to get sober for Christmas.
