Sermon: Matthew 3:13-17
January 14th, 2008 · Posted in SERMONS ·I have posted my sermon from yesterday on my sermon blog. It’s a Baptism of the Lord Day sermon based on Matthew 13:13-17 and entitled “Called To Please God”.
Here’s a portion of it:
At baptism, God reminds us that we are God’s people — created by God — called by God — loved by God – and delighted in by God –
We are reminded that we are chosen by God.
What a marvelous truth this is – that we are chosen — created — called — loved – and delighted in by God –
Regardless of who we are –
what we have done in the past –
how we have lived –
what our circumstances might be –
the marvelous truth is that we are chosen — created — called — loved – and delighted in by God!
We are
Called To Please God
Called To Please God
What an act of gracious love God shows – as He chooses us to be His people – and chooses us to live lives that are pleasing to Him!
God is saying to us:
“You are my child,
My son – my daughter —
Chosen and marked by my love.
Delight of my life”
We are
Called To Please God
Called To Please God
