The Baptism of Christ

The Baptism of Christ

Today we’ve jumped forward thirty years in a week and we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus. Mark’s Gospel, which we heard this morning, begins with the Baptism with very little preamble. In fact, all four Gospels mention this important event.

Strength to stand up (Trinity 16)

Strength to stand up (Trinity 16)

“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”
That is the challenge for us today. To live out what we speak about Sunday by Sunday. I want to encourage us to live out our faith with boldness and with strength.
