Hey Guys,
When was the last time you paused and truly reflected on the greatness of Jesus? Not just His works, but who He is? This Sunday, we’ll delve into one of the most profound passages in the Gospel of John—John 1:19–34. Here, the identity and mission of Jesus Christ come into sharp focus through the powerful testimony of John the Baptist.
If you’ve ever wondered why Jesus is called the “Lamb of God,” or if you’re searching for deeper meaning in your faith, this message is for you.
Why This Sermon Matters
The title of this week’s message is “The Preparer and the Promised One.” It’s part of our ongoing sermon series, “Believe: The Study of John,” where we explore the Gospel’s purpose: “...these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that by believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31).
In John 1:19–34, we’ll discover:
These truths aren’t just theological ideas—they’re transformative realities that demand a response.
What You’ll Take Away
This message will challenge and encourage you in several ways:
Come and See
Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or you’re exploring who He is for the first time, this message will resonate with you. It’s a call to behold Jesus, believe in Him, and boldly proclaim Him to a world in need.
We’ll dig deep into Scripture, uncover timeless truths, and discover practical ways to apply them to our daily lives. Along the way, you’ll hear inspiring illustrations, powerful testimonies, and a clear presentation of the gospel.
Join Us This Sunday
We invite you to join us this Sunday as we unpack this powerful passage together. Here are the details:
As we gather, let’s fix our eyes on the Lamb of God, worship Him for who He is, and leave equipped to live out our faith boldly.
Let this Sunday be a turning point. Come and hear the good news of the Promised One who takes away the sin of the world.
You don’t want to miss this! Will you join us as we “behold the Lamb”?

In John 1:19–34, we’ll discover:
- The identity of John the Baptist as the forerunner of Christ.
- The mission of John to prepare hearts for the Messiah.
- The identity of Jesus as the Lamb of God, the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit, and the very Son of God.
These truths aren’t just theological ideas—they’re transformative realities that demand a response.
What You’ll Take Away
This message will challenge and encourage you in several ways:
- Recognize the Greatness of Jesus
John the Baptist proclaimed, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). These words remind us that Jesus is not just a good teacher or a moral example—He is the Savior of the world. - Understand the Gospel’s Call
Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good; He came to bring dead people to life. This passage invites us to confront our need for forgiveness and respond to the grace of the Lamb who was slain for us. - Live on Mission
Like John the Baptist, we are called to point others to Jesus. In a world searching for hope, we carry the greatest news of all time.
