Join hosts Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum on this New Testament episode of Talk of Him as we explore these important themes, topics, and questions from Matthew 3; Mark 1; and Luke 3:

The baptism of Jesus
The relational aspect of covenant making and keeping
Receiving Jesus’ healing & how to cope when the journey is long and difficult
A New Testament reframe → seeing ourselves as the Pharisees
Stubborn clinging to the past vs. being humble and open
Eternal progression and preparing for MORE that God wants to reveal to us (the ONGOING restoration!)
What are fruits worthy of repentance as John the Baptist taught?

Invitation:

When is a time you have felt that God is pleased with your efforts? As you participate in ordinances, strive to keep commandments, and live your covenants, consider that these efforts are opportunities to act in love.

“Covenants bind us to God. And baptism is the first step on the covenant path. Heaven cheers as you take that first step and all the other steps on the path to come unto Christ. God is pleased with your efforts and offerings. And as you choose to enter the gate, you can hear God say, as He did at the Savior’s baptism, that He is well pleased with you (see Mark 1:11, Luke 3:22).” [FIND HIM STUDY GUIDE, p. 9]

“During His mortal ministry, Jesus Christ healed the sick and the afflicted, but each person had to exercise faith in Him and act to receive His healing. Some walked for long distances, others extended their hand to touch His garment, and others had to be carried to Him in order to be healed. When it comes to healing, don’t we all need Him desperately? “Are we not all beggars?” [2019–O:57, Reyna I. Aburto, Thru Cloud and Sunshine, Lord, Abide with Me!]
