So today, I am going to speak about two sons who have been born—given to us, the Lord Jesus Christ, and Lawrence Kubik—who is being baptised today. While there is no comparison, there is a beautiful correlation and connection. In the opening of Isaiah 9, he brings words of tremendous encouragement. In the first five verses, He tells them of wonderful changes that are coming, but with each one, suspense builds as to how He is going to bring these blessings about. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1221251628307017 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Baptism https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/127251626281145 The Jews were baptised to enter the New Covenant when they accepted Him as the promised Messiah, and the Gentiles when they were called to come to God through faith in Him. Both Jews and Gentiles came with their children. But after churches were established, most of the baptisms were of the children born in those families. So it is today in churches that practice household baptism. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/127251626281145 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Baptism https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1019251523592781 Today, since we have the blessing of welcoming nine new members, and of baptising four covenant children, I am going to break from our regular sermon series in Samuel. Those who are joining want to be a part of a church with a biblical confession and practice. That is why they have come. I want to show you today that where you worship, and what church you are a part of, is important because God is those who will worship Him in spirit and truth. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1019251523592781 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Baptism https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1029231835184541 As most of you know, God has told us that He is God not only to us when we are redeemed, but also to our children… while they are yet children. In Gen 17, God tells Abraham that He establishes His covenant with him and his sons. In Acts 2:38-39, Peter affirms in connection with baptism that the promise is: to you and your children. In Mark 10:13-16, Jesus affirms that the kingdom of God belongs to little children. So with baptism, whether of an adult or a child, we are reminded of our identity as those who are God's people in Christ. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/1029231835184541 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Oct 2023 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.

John Shearouse - Baptism https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/917222017262999 Today, I am breaking from our regular sermon series in Hebrews because we are welcoming nine people into church membership. For this special service, I have selected Mark 1:8 as my text: "I indeed baptise you with water, but He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit." What do these words mean and what do they teach us? That is what I want to focus on today. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/917222017262999 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Sep 2022 12:00:00 +0000 Rev. John Shearouse 0:49:55 no Rev. John Shearouse - Baptism https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/31421223317388 How gracious the Lord is! Even though His people were entirely undeserving, He promises to restore them. He will provide what He requires of them from His own resources and merit (36:22 & 32). In this wonderful prophecy, God promises that He Himself will baptise them, and He tells them how He will make them clean. https://sermons.crpchalifax.ca/sermons/31421223317388 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Rev.
