         John answered them all,
        “I baptize you with water.
  But one who is more powerful than I
 will come, the straps of whose sandals
         I am not worthy to untie.
       He will baptize you with the
            Holy Spirit and fire.
              Luke 3:16, NIV

                     Here is a tale of two employees. The first
                     lives by the employee handbook. He never
                     violates the letter of any rule. He gets the
                     minimum done, but his heart just isn’t in
                     the job. The second guy is different. He
                     doesn’t even know where his employee
        handbook is. But he sure gets the work
        done, and then some. The boss wishes he
        had a dozen more like this man.
        When it comes to Christians, wonder which
        follower Jesus would choose? This morning,
        come! Let’s be people of both the Word
        and the Spirit as we worship Christ.

        Welcome!

                 This Lord’s Supper is open to all believers.
             Please take the bread and juice as it is passed—
            and remember with us Jesus and His sacrifice for all.

Sermon Notes
 Weird Passages from the Bible!
          Weird Baptism Acts 19:1-7

What strange thing will you find unfinished in
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio?

When Jesus spoke about armies and towers and
crosses where the cost had not been counted, in
Luke 14, what was He really talking about?

Weird Baptisms
 The Baptism of John (and other lessor baptisms)
  What is the Baptism of John?

  What is Baptism for the dead?

  What is Baptism of Infants?

  What do all lessor baptisms have in common?

True Baptism
 Baptism in the Lord Jesus
  What do true baptisms all have in common?

  No matter the cost, with His help will you follow
  our Savior this week?
