Wheat, Chaff, & Transformation (Lessons from the Sermon at Jesus' Baptism)

When someone is baptised in a church there is usually a sermon and/or a ritual speech. Most peopl don’t pay much attention to those speeches. They’re waiting for the water. But when we neglect the words preceding a baptism, we can miss important spiritual principles. So, in this message we go back to the words spoken before and about the most important baptism in history–the baptism of Jesus Christ.

Taking the pre-baptism sermon of John the Baptist in Luke 3: 15-22, Pastor Anderson T. Graves II challenges us to consider John’s agricultural analogy and to see ourselves in the principles of “Wheat, Chaff, and Transformation.”
