John the Baptist was preaching the gospel. People were coming back to their faith. People were listening to God. People were being baptized. So why is he in jail? If you are following God, why do you feel that everything you do is wrong? Could it be that the trials we are facing are steps that bring us closer to our rest and reward in Christ? Come and hear how John endured challenges and paid the ultimate price but lived a life trusting in the Lord. Scripture: Matthew 11:11-12

Not Just Any Voice

John was a prophet and a prophet used his voice a lot. However, what kind of voice did he use? What should Christian sound like? John used his voice to bring people back to God but he used persuasion to do so. We should follow his example to help people hear the warning and also heed the warning. Come and hear how God wants to use you to tell people the truth in love that people need to come back to God. Scripture: Matthew 14:3-5

Not Just Any Baptism

What do we know about John the Baptist? That he baptized a lot of people! However, what most people don't realize was the type of baptism he practiced was unique. His contemporaries baptized for purity but John baptized for repentance and changing of direction. John wanted people to know that following God you had to come to the realization that you were a sinner in need of a Savior. Follow with us how John's baptism is needed today in our everyday lives. Scripture: Luke 3:3

Not Just Any Devotion

John is mentioned that his diet consisted in eating locus and honey. Anyone reading this probably never paid much attention to it. However, the reason why Mark wants the audience to know John’s unique diet was to apply his complete devotion to God. John wanted his life to be completely focused to doing God’s will. John understood that his whole purpose in life was to magnify God and prepare others to know Him. Often, we get distracted from this purpose but God is inviting us to be dedicated to the mission He has given all of us. Come and listen to how God wants to help you know your purpose and stay focused to accomplish it. Scripture: Mark 1:4-6

Not Just Any Baby

We discover John, son of Zacharias, in the gospel of Luke. However, all four of the gospels mention him. Why is this child so important and why does God choose him for a special moment in time? John is known for many things but one thing he is characterized for is the preparer, right before the arrival of Jesus Christ. Today, we will look at the birth of John and how his role fits in perfect on what believers and we as a church should be doing today - preparing people back to the Lord. Scripture: Luke 1:13-15
