Worship Guide for September 19

September 16, 2021


Prepare for Sunday morning worship by using the guide below.

Matthew 3:13-17

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Summary: We have the joy of celebrating a number of people being baptized this Sunday.  As we have done over the past number of years, I will speak to the nature of baptism both for our instruction and encouragement.  We will look at Jesus' baptism in the gospel of Matthew.  The baptism of Jesus offers much theological insight into our Triune God and his redemptive ways.  I think this passage will both strengthen and embolden faithfulness in his church.  Understanding Jesus’ baptism, we can better understand what it means to follow him in baptism with affection and obedience.  

Review and Apply

Why was Jesus baptized if sinless?

What does it mean to fulfill all righteousness?

Why is it important that the Spirit descended?  

How does your baptism lead to greater humility in this life?

How does the Spirit of God participate with the believer in living a new life of joy and holiness?

How does your baptism prepare you to endure suffering with faith?

How does baptism prepare you to be involved in the lives of other members of your church?
