Why was Jesus baptized? And what does it mean that the Holy Spirit descended on him? In this episode of the More to the Story podcast, I'm joined by Steve Blakemore, theologian, and Murray Vasser, New Testament scholar, for a conversation about one of the most intriguing moments in the Gospels. Together, we explore why Jesus, who Christians confess as sinless, submitted to baptism, and how the Spirit's descent at the Jordan reveals key aspects of Jesus's identity, mission, and relationship to Israel and the Father. This episode invites listeners to move beyond familiar answers and into the deeper theological and biblical meaning of Jesus's baptism, and why it still matters today.Youtube - https://youtu.be/4_OWvi3PkfwAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon!

Join us for episode 4216 where we welcome back for a second week, Rev. Dr. Damon P. Williams, Senior Pastor of Providence Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta and a leader in theological education and engineering. In his sermon, “Why was Jesus Baptized Only Once?”, based on Matthew 3:13–17, Dr. Williams explores baptism as a once-for-all declaration of identity rather than a ritual needing repetition. Preached for the Baptism of the Lord and the First Sunday after Epiphany, this message invites reflection on belovedness, calling, and renewal at the start of a new year.

A new MP3 sermon from Providence Orthodox Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Jesus Baptized and Tempted Speaker: Jim Stevenson Broadcaster: Providence Orthodox Presbyterian Church Event: Debate Date: 9/21/2025 Bible: Mark 1:9-13 Length: 44 min.
Today, we delve into the profound mystery of Jesus' baptism, exploring why the sinless Son of God would participate in a ritual meant for repentance. This event, recorded in Mark 1:9-11, reveals God's surprising ways that often defy our human logic. We're reminded that God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), challenging us to trust Him even when we don't understand. The baptism of Jesus beautifully illustrates the Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - working in perfect harmony. It also demonstrates Christ's humility and servanthood, setting an example for us to follow. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can embrace a servant's heart in our own lives, surrendering our plans to God's higher purpose.

1st Sunday after EpiphanyScripture Lesson: Luke 3:15-17, 21-22
Sermon by elder Billy Dalton
Sermon by elder Billy Dalton
Fr. Steve asks the why--why was Jesus Baptized in the Jordan...why was He even Baptized to begin with?
Why was Jesus baptized? According to him, it was to fulfill righteousness, but what does that mean? Jesus wasn't a sinner who needed to repent. He was perfect. We'll explain the answer in this message of Matthew 3.
Send us a textJohn the Baptist was baptizing people for repentance of their sins. Jesus shows up and He wants to be baptized by John. But wait! He has no sin, He is sinless. So why this baptism?Jesus is going to enter the ministry and this is His ordination service.It is also the beginning of the spiritual battle He is going to wage with the devil.Listen carefully to really understand the role of John.
Bishop Robert Barron’s Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies
Friends, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is exceptionally important. All four Gospels talk about it, and John the Baptist is a kind of door we have to go through to understand Jesus properly. What was John the Baptist doing in the desert? Why did the Messiah, the Lord, go to him for a baptism of repentance? And why do we still spend time with this strange, puzzling, and even embarrassing event?

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mk 8:11-13 - The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with Jesus, seeking from Him a sign from heaven to test Him. He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation." Then He left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the other shore.

The Timing of the Second Passover Dr. Richard Ruhling We've had discussions this year about the “Seven Seals” and things that needed to happen at the time of Passover, etc. Discussion of Haggai 2 and Daniel 9… “As the Days of Noah” and depictions of the “10th day of the 5th month” on the Jewish calendar would equate to August 5th of 2023. And Noah was instructed to get “into the Ark” one week earlier. So we could be looking for a sign the last week of July. Catholic Church was the “little horn” that grew out of the “ram.” Well, help me welcome back to the program, Dr. Richard Ruhling. Dr. Ruhling, it is good to have you back on the program today. Amos 3:7-8 “God will not reveal anything without revealing it first.” Ruhling7@yahoo.com Could this be a repeat of Exodus Chapter Twelve where “Day follows Night” (which goes all the way back to Genesis? What we are seeing now is called “The Night of the Lord.” Which means the “Day of the Lord” must appear next! The “time is fulfilled” from Daniel 9 (70 weeks)… The First Coming was timed exactly up to the point of Jesus Baptized by John in the Jordan River. The Jubilee event in 457 BC and Jesus was Baptized exactly on time, 490 years later. We look at the 50th year as the Year of Jubilee – but the 50th year is actually “year #1” of the next set of 490 year sequence. How does all of this tie into what we are seeing right now in Israel? Daniel 8 refers to the Ram with two horns. The little horn was Iraq and the big horn is coming – which points to Iran. Muslims recognize Ismael as being “sparred” by a sacrifice of a ram (not Isaac). But in Daniel, we see the ram being defeated by Israel. What do you see coming next? Continuing attacks on US facilities in Iraq and Syria When all the Muslim nations surround Jerusalem (celebrating “Allah has no son”) Why did you initially think these would happen in 2023? Numbers 9:10-11 - allows for Passover one month later to allow funeral for loved ones. At the end of the “10 Virgins Parable” – Jesus said you will not know the day or hour… but the Biblical year does not go from January to December, but from Spring to Spring. In addition, this refers to the “2nd Passover” which is allowed if you are “travelling” and not in Jerusalem for the 1stPassover of the year. The “2nd Passover” is then held one month later. The DARK DAY – on May 19, 1780 – occurred and was believed it was a sign of the “Day of the Lord.” It was repeated 200 years later when Mt. St. Helen's erupted on May 19, 1980 and a volcanic ash cloud covered much of the Northwest USA. The 10th Day (that Noah entered the Ark) corresponds to next May 19 – in 2024 - to the DAY. So “SOMETHING” is going to happen on that day! There will be an attack on Jerusalem, a dark day will occur… It could be Iran entering Jerusalem; it could be an EMP attack – but “something” is going to happen on...
