This Sunday we’ve come to one of the major events in Jesus’ life. It’s one of only a few stories of His life that are present in all four gospels. The narrative of His birth isn’t in all the gospels. The temptation isn’t in all the gospels. Most of His miracles and parables aren’t in all the gospels. The Beatitudes aren’t, The Lord’s Prayer isn’t, not even the raising of Lazarus. What is in all four gospels? The Baptism of Jesus. And that means it’s important.

We’re continuing our series on the life of Christ, Walking with Jesus: A Year with the Savior and we’ve come to the story of John the Baptist and the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. Here we not only see John the Baptist fulfilling his role as the last Old Testament prophet and the forerunner of Christ, the one who announces the appearance of the Messiah, but we also see Jesus being confirmed and commissioned as the Christ, the long-awaited Messiah.

We’re back in the Gospel of Matthew this week (Matthew 3:1-17) with a story about John and Jesus and how they’ve come to change your life. And we’ll learn that there are some things we should never forget. I think you’ll find it fascinating. See you Sunday, Dr. Dave

P.S. Please continue to pray about officer nominations. If you need a guide or a nominations form, the link to them is on Realm.

Also, our theology survey went out this week. It would be very helpful for us if you would take a few moments to fill it out. Thanks.
