John the Baptist

Series: Encountering Easter

Geoffrey TurnerMarch 1, 2026Weekend Services

Passage: John 1:6-29

Previous Page

John the Baptist was a regular person with a clear purpose: point people to Jesus. In a dark and broken world, he didn't try to blend in, rather he lived boldly so others could see the light of Christ. His life reminds us that following Jesus isn't just about what we believe, but how we live. God calls each of us to live in a way that helps others see Jesus through our words, actions, and everyday choices. When we live with a surrendered identity, visible devotion, and as a faithful witness, we help others find the life and hope only He can give.
