Before Jesus ever preached a sermon, worked a miracle, or cast out a demon—He stepped into the water.

Not for sin.

Not for show.

But to fulfill all righteousness.

This episode takes you deep into the baptism of Jesus and the bold testimony of John the Baptist. Why did the sinless Son of God submit to a baptism of repentance? What does it mean to “Behold the Lamb of God”? And why does your obedience precede your influence?

In this episode:

• Why Jesus’ baptism was a prophetic act of repentance-identification

• The 4 things Jesus did before He preached: Baptized. Affirmed. Filled. Tested.

• What it means to live from the Father’s affirmation, not for it

• How baptism declares: “I belong to Jesus now—and my past is buried.”

• Why you can’t just admire Jesus… you must imitate Him

BEHOLD. The Lamb who takes away the sin of the world.

FOLLOW. His rhythm of surrender, not your own ambition.

REPENT. Because your new beginning starts in the water.

AXIOMS FROM THIS EPISODE:

• “Before Jesus picked up a mic, He picked up submission.”

• “Repentance is not rejection—it’s your reintroduction to God’s rhythm.”

• “The baptism of Jesus was not about His need to repent—it was about His resolve to obey.”

• “Beholding the Lamb begins when you bury your pride.”

One word lit the desert on fire — REPENT.

Before Jesus stepped into the public eye, God sent a wild, raw, untamed man to prepare the way: John the Baptist.

He wasn’t soft. He wasn’t safe. He didn’t suggest.

He commanded: REPENT — for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.

This episode is an unapologetic deep-dive into the forgotten power of repentance:

• 💥 What repentance actually means (hint: not guilt, but reversal).
• 🧪 Why “fruit” is the test, not the goal.
• 🧨 How repentance dismantles pride, excuses, and religious image.
• 🔥 Why we don’t just need the Holy Spirit—we need the fire too.
• 💡 What to do when you don’t feel like repenting.

Repentance isn’t about shame. It’s about surrender.

It’s not just a confession. It’s a collision—between your sin and God’s mercy.

🛑 Stop scrolling. Start turning.

🗣 AXIOMS FROM THIS EPISODE:

• “Repentance is the root; fruit is the proof.”
• “The fire of repentance doesn’t start in your feelings—it starts at your feet.”
• “The Holy Spirit isn’t a vibe; He’s a fire.”
• “God doesn’t care about your label—He’s after your loyalty.”

✝️ If you’re tired of being numb, if you’re done faking peace, this is your word: REPENT.

Don’t delay. Don’t deflect. Don’t harden.

God is not mad at you. He’s making room in you.

What was Jesus doing for the first 30 years of His life? Why does Scripture highlight His growth instead of skipping straight to the miracles? In this message, we unpack Luke 2:40 and 2:52—two powerful verses that summarize the formation of Jesus in His youth.

Jesus, though fully God, submitted Himself to the ordinary, slow, and sacred process of human development. He grew—in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and people. Not because He lacked anything in divinity, but because He chose to model humanity at its fullest.

Through deep biblical insight, original Greek word studies, and practical wisdom, this sermon answers:

• Why did Jesus have to grow if He was sinless?

• What does it mean to be “strong in spirit” and “filled with wisdom”?

• How can we grow in favor with God and people today?

Whether you’re in a season of waiting, growing, or obscurity—Luke 2 reminds us: formation is not wasted time. It’s the way of Christ.

Key Takeaways:

• Formation is God’s method for greatness.

• Favor is grown, not grabbed.

• You don’t have to be fully formed to be fully loved.

Next Steps:

1. Pursue wisdom daily

2. Strengthen your spiritual capacity

3. Live by grace, not performance
