Director of The Malachi Network Executive Pastor of Wesley Network Pastor of Avalon Beach Church "Rethinking Church, Releasing Leaders, Remaining Faithful"
Thank you for joining in this Bible Study today. We are focusing on John 1:29-34 as we look to the Word together.
I hope you are ready to hear the Voice of God the Father and receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Because what God has for Jesus at His baptism, I believe he has for each of you.
After you listen to the message, here are three questions for you to discuss with others.
Why did Jesus have to be baptized by John?
Why is baptism a foreshadowing of death and resurrection?
Do you believe that God’s love is unconditional? Do you live like you believe it?
