Sermon by Michael Bailey on August 24, 2025.

Key scripture: John 1:6–8, 19–34 & 3:22–30

We are often tempted to find our identity, purpose and meaning either in others or in our selves. But John the Baptist’s message echoes: Jesus must increase, and I must decrease. This sermon invites us into a radically freeing humility that finds identity and purpose by centering our lives, not on others or our selves but on Christ.
