John the Baptizer was a powerful preacher in the first century. He was compared to the Old Testament prophet, Elijah. His messages of repentance and baptism were known throughout all of Jerusalem and the surrounding land. However, his role in life was not just to preach sermons. His unique purpose was prophesied hundreds of years earlier and fulfilled in his day as the one who would prepare the way for the work and ministry of our Lord Jesus. In his continuing study of the first gospel account, join Kevin Patterson of Sebring, Florida, as he preaches a sermon from Matthew 3:1-12 to the Sebring Parkway church of Christ entitled, "John the Baptizer: Preparing the Way."
