Now August 11, 2019 John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Luke 3:16, NIV
` Carter Christian Church August 11, 2019 Here is a tale of two employees. The first lives by the employee handbook. He never violates the letter of any rule. He gets the minimum done, but his heart just isn’t in the job. The second guy is different. He doesn’t even know where his employee handbook is. But he sure gets the work done, and then some. The boss wishes he had a dozen more like this man. When it comes to Christians, wonder which follower Jesus would choose? This morning, come! Let’s be people of both the Word and the Spirit as we worship Christ. Welcome! Hymn #190 Are You Washed in the Blood? Shall We Gather at the River? The River of Prayer In Christ Alone Let’s remember Jesus together Bryan White This Lord’s Supper is open to all believers.

Sermon Notes Weird Passages from the Bible! Weird Baptism Acts 19:1-7 What strange thing will you find unfinished in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio? When Jesus spoke about armies and towers and crosses where the cost had not been counted, in Luke 14, what was He really talking about? Weird Baptisms The Baptism of John (and other lessor baptisms) What is the Baptism of John? What is Baptism for the dead? What is Baptism of Infants? What do all lessor baptisms have in common? True Baptism Baptism in the Lord Jesus What do true baptisms all have in common? No matter the cost, with His help will you follow our Savior this week?
