Delighting in Jesus’ Baptism

In considering the importance of Jesus’ baptism we not only see the triune nature of God, we see delight and joy in Jesus. The Father is pleased with the Son and so should we be. Here is a reminder to behold Jesus, see him for who he is and take joy in him regardless of the hardships we may be facing. Passage: Luke 3:21-22

Calling Rulers to Repentance

We consider John’s public rebuke of Herod and the church’s role in calling rulers to repentance. The church is the pillar and support of the truth and has the duty to bring this truth to bear today, including rulers. We consider common objections and end with 5 practical remarks we learn from the ministry of John in bringing truth to our leaders. Passage: Luke 3:19-20

Baptism with the Spirit and Fire

John the Baptist directs his hearers to the main attraction–the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is shown to be great in his power, worth, and authority especially in his act of judgment where he baptizes by the Holy Spirit and fire. Here is a call to see what Jesus is doing and to turn to him in repentance and faith. Passage: Luke 3:15-18

Repentance: Its Root and Fruit

In this sermon, Pastor Tim examines John the Baptist’s message of repentance. This is the word he received from God to call people to clear the way to see the coming Christ. The call to repentance is the same call we are commanded to respond to today. Passage: Luke 3:1-14

The Son with Two Fathers

At twelve years of age Jesus had incredible self-awareness. Here he confesses that he is the Son of God and is the Lord’s Christ. At the same time, we’re reminded that Jesus is human. How this fits together is ultimately beyond our understanding but it absolutely necessary for the gospel. Here is Christ Jesus revealed, our Passover Lamb! Passage: Luke 2:41-52
