"Beloved" ~ Luke

This sermon is based on Luke 3:15-17, 21-22, the account of Jesus' baptism. It was preached on January 10, 2016 by Rev. Patrick D. Chandler, Senior Pastor of St. Peter's UCC. It is baptismal reflection and a call to live out one's baptism among all God's people, modeling the example of Jesus at the time of his own baptism. Following the sermon, those in attendance came forward and affirmed and reclaimed their own baptism. Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 15As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah, 16John answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” 21Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, 22and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”
