Picking up off of last week we are looking at some of the similarities between Jesus and John the Baptist. John was great, he was spoken of in the OT, he has the Holy Spirit, but ultimately his job was to let everyone know that Jesus was coming… follow us as we take a look at this subject.

Sermon Notes:

Ice Breaker: Have you ever had something that was good, but then found the same thing in a

different brand that turned out to be even better?

Big Idea: John the Baptist is great, but Jesus is GREATER

someone or something else? Do you truly understand the freedom that comes with a life in Jesus?
