Clearing out
When Jesus went to the Temple in Jerusalem just before Passover, he did something we are not used to seeing from Jesus. He is angry. That is a side of Jesus that we are not so familiar with. We are friends with Jesus on his terms, and that means that we should be careful of how we relate to him.
Follow Me
What kind of followers are we? That is an important question we should ask if we are serious followers of Jesus.
Jesus asks questions, and we must be honest and open with him. He loves interacting with us; this is communication and prayer. He has his voice, and we are told we can identify his voice in the Gospel of John. Today, I am asking, What kind of followers are we? To attempt to answer it, we need to know there will be lots of questions asked and to follow Jesus even when his answer is just "Come, and you will see.
The Witness
John the Baptist is our Witness. In the Gospel of John, we see him testifying about the Holy Spirit descending and remaining in Jesus. This is not the Baptism of Jesus but the confirmation that Jesus is the Chosen One. John said he did not know who the Messiah would be but was given a sign.
This sermon was preached in First Ballynahinch Presbyterian Church on 17th Sept. 2023
Who are you? John the Baptist. Part 1
Why do you follow me? I was asked this question during my Sabbatical. I was sitting on a bench in Central Park when I heard the Spirit of God asking me that!
During the following Sundays, I will try to answer this question as I share it with our Church family.
This episode is the first of the series Why do you follow me? preached in First Ballynahinch Presbyterian Church on Sunday, the 3rd of Sept., 2023.
God’s Megaphone and a mocking voice!
