Standing Against the World Part 3; Luke 3:15-20

Delivered during the Sunday morning worship service, 08/15/2021. This is the third part of what has become a three-week series on the positive example of John the Baptist. By looking at the life and words of John the Baptist, we will gain valuable insight into what it means to be Christ-like in our own lives and ministry. In previous lessons we have analyzed both the humility of "the greatest man born of woman", and his truthfulness to the Word of God. This week we will analyze his boldness and the inevitable consequence of suffering. Ultimately we will realize that like the saints who have gone before us-- if we boldly stand for truth, will find ourselves standing against the world-- and incurring its wrath!
