S6E37: Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Baptism of the Lord 2019)

Sermon #317

For those of us who preach from the Lectionary, there is a danger of letting certain days on the church calendar become routine.  But there is nothing routine about the Baptism of the Lord, which all four of the Gospel writers recorded for our benefit.  Indeed, it is one of only a few events that is recorded in all four Gospels, and that alone should tell us that it is something extraordinary.  On this Baptism of the Lord Sunday, we look at the baptism of Jesus and what His baptism says about ours - whether we were baptized as adults or children.  And we are invited to remember our baptism and rejoice in knowing that God has loved us even before we knew Him.

Luke 3:15-22
