John the Baptist

Purpose: Provoke people to embrace 4 life lessons from the forerunner of Jesus, John the Baptist.

Truth for Today: John the Baptist shows us (1) God is in control, (2) waiting is part of God’s

plan, (3) God uses those who live a ‘set apart’ life, and (4) Our life mission, is to turn many to

the Lord.
