Yesterday we began our study of the third chapter of the Gospel according to Luke by talking about John the Baptist; the son of Zacharias and Elizabeth.  John was a powerful man who truly dedicated his life to serving God.  He literally lived in the wilderness and ate bugs, how much more dedicated do you need to be?  The message that John preached is truly applicable to Christians today as we do our best to "bear fruit in keeping with repentance." (Luke 3:8)    Sermon by Pastor Dan Squezello At Central Baptist Church, Niles, Ohio Morning Service On June 17, 2018 Series Title: Preaching through the Gospel of Luke Sermon Title: "The Message of John the Baptist" Scripture Text: Luke 3:1-14 https://archive.org/download/TheMessageOfJohnTheBaptist_492/TheMessageOfJohnTheBaptist.mp3

On Sunday morning we finished off Luke 2 by talking about how Christians and Non-Christians can find Jesus.  Joseph and Mary "lost" Jesus when He was 12 years old while on a trip to Jerusalem for the Passover.  Of course, Jesus was found right where He was suppose to be; in his father's house.  Have you found Jesus?  Do you know where to find Him?  Listen to Pastor Dan's sermon to answer these questions.  Sermon by Rev.

For the past two months or so we have been making our way through the first two chapters of Luke.  Last week we finished the Christmas story and now we move on into the only non-birth related information, provided to us through God's Word, about Jesus' childhood.  Yesterday we learned from the example of two godly people who meet Jesus within the first two months of His life; the Priest Simeon and the Prophetess Anna.  I told my congregation that we can learn a lot from the example of mature (righteous and devout) Christians.

On Sunday nights I have been preaching through a series titled "The Promises of God."  This past Sunday evening we talked about God's promise of rest.  I have found that I have been so tired, of late, that I actually fall asleep watching the Red Sox game.  Tabbethia (my wife) normally hits me with something to wake me up because my snoring is bothering her.  In these moments I realize how much rest I really need.  Of course, the rest I talked about on Sunday Night was spiritual rest that can only be found through Christ.  Are you tired and overburdened?  Turn you life (and your burdens) over to Jesus today and you WILL find rest.

On Sunday nights I have been preaching through a series titled "The Promises of God."  This past Sunday evening we talked about God's promise, to all Christians, of an abundant life in Christ from John 10.  Life gets a little crazy sometimes and we find ourselves in a tailspin.  BUT, if you allow Jesus to take control everything will be OK!     Sermon by Rev.

On Sunday morning, after taking seven weeks to make it through Luke chapter 1, we finally arrived at Luke 2 and the Christmas story.  I decided to break the birth of Christ into two parts.  Yesterday I preached about the effects that Jesus' birth had on the earth and told my congregation that the birth of Christ brought the world joy, salvation and peace.

On Sunday nights I have been preaching through a series titled "The Promises of God."  For the past couple of weeks we have been talking about different aspects of God's promise of the Holy Spirit from chapters 14-16 in the Gospel of John.  Last night we talked about how the Holy Spirit testifies about God and how the same Spirit within Christian's helps us do the same.  Followers of Christ can tell the world about Jesus because the power of God (the Holy Spirit) is within us.
