The words that we speak as Christians tell us what is in our hearts.  We may read Galatians 5 and read over the works of the flesh very quickly because we say to ourselves I don't do any of those things, but do we meditate on any of those works.  Jesus let's us know that we don't have to physically commit the act to be guilty of the sin.  If we have that act in our hearts then we have committed that sin.  Jesus said in Matthew 12 we would all give an account for every idle word we speak.  A person will give away what is in their heart by the words they speak.  I have heard people say we cannot really tell if someone is a Christian or not because we don't truly know what is in their heart, but that is not what Jesus says.  Jesus taught that we can know them by their fruit.  We can know them by the fruit of their words and what they are saying.  

by Rev. Russell Rathbun Scripture Reading: Matthew 3:13-17

When we first learn of or see something, the how or why doesn't always make sense. That's why we  go to school, or listen to podcasts. Jesus being baptized at first doesn't make sense. Listen and be encouraged. Copyright, Dave Andrus 2026

This morning we're going to see John the Baptist being surprised.  His cousin Jesus, the Messiah Himself, shows up to get baptized.  John isn't sure what to do.  Jesus doesn't have any sins to confess.  Why does He need to get baptized?  And John feels like He is not good enough to baptize Jesus.  This morning we'll see why Jesus needed to be baptized and what happened after He was. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

Matthew 3:13-17Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordanto be baptized by him.John tried to prevent him, saying,“I need to be baptized by you,and yet you are coming to me?”Jesus said to him in reply,“Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for usto fulfill all righteousness.”Then he allowed him.After Jesus was baptized,he came up from the water and behold,the heavens were opened for him,and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a doveand coming upon him.And a voice came from the heavens, saying,“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Jordan River—Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons Jesus didn't start his ministry by going to the halls of power to make deals with the folks in charge. He went to a river where ordinary people were gathering, hungry for change but with no political clout to make it happen. Jesus stood with them in the water. He got muddy with them. He submitted to the same baptism of repentance they were submitting to, even though tradition says he didn't need to repent of anything. Why? Because God's way into the world isn't from the top down. It's from the bottom up. It's from the margins in. It's Emmanuel, God with us, and the "us" isn't the people in the skyboxes, drinking complimentary champagne. It's the people in the cheap seats, drinking over-priced beer. Subscribe to us on iTunes! Sermon text: web | doc

Sermon by Pastor Scott Edinger

This week, we continue our sermon series called Gifts from Jesus, exploring how Jesus first embedded himself in the community before the launch of his community. How do we turn to each other and lean into shared life as we name one another as Beloved in a world that tries to push us apart? 

Matthew 3:13-1713 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Isaiah 42 (in which the Messiah is announced) and Matthew 3 (in which Jesus is baptized). God stakes his reputation on Jesus, who vindicates his Father's trust by accomplishing the salvation of sinners.

What in the world is anointing?Baptism of Our LordJoshua 3; Ephesians 1:13–18; Matthew 3:13–17

Matthew 3:1-12In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'”5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.11 “I baptize you with[b] water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

Lead Pastor Ashley Mathews preaches from the Gospel of Matthew on The First Sunday of Epiphany.

When Jesus comes to the Jordan, He looks like everyone else standing in line to be baptized by John. Yet John knows the truth. This man has no sin. John hesitates, knowing the order seems backwards. He should be the one kneeling, not Jesus. But our Lord insists. This must be done to fulfill all righteousness. Jesus' baptism is unlike ours. He does not enter the water to have sin washed away. He enters the water to take sin upon Himself. Your sin. My sin. He steps into the place of sinners so that He might carry our guilt all the way to the cross and leave it buried in the tomb. The righteous One comes to make things right with those who are not righteous. And then heaven opens. The Spirit descends like a dove. The Father's voice resounds from above, declaring His pleasure in His Son. Heaven reaches down to earth in a way never seen before. This is not just a moment in history. This is what baptism is. God coming to us. Heaven touching earth. The promise that sinners are claimed, forgiven, and named children of God. Baptism is not our work reaching up to God. It is God's gracious work coming down to us. The gate of heaven stands open because Christ has stepped into the water for us. ----- Worship Times Sunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.org https://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

“Christ” is not the family name of Jesus. It is a title. The Greek word “Christ” and the Hebrew word “Messiah” both mean the same thing: “The Anointed One.” Anointing was the practice of pouring liquid over the head of someone to signify selection for some special task. When the Lord had someone anointed, he also poured his Spirit over them. It was the fulfillment of promises made over centuries, and it was for our righteousness.Series: Identity Revealed
