Significance Of Baptism Of God's Son
Have you ever wondered why Jesus needs to be baptized? Even though He is the Son of God, He deliberately went to John the Baptist to be baptised because He wants to identify, connect, and empathise with us, His Children. But, does it mean we can continue to gratify our sinful desires just because God "understands" us? no. On the contrary, we will long for sinlessness and be like the sinless Christ when we are able to see His empathy and grace.

To Be Winners of Sinners <Mt 18:15-20>
We have a tendency to desire winning people’s approval, or winning people in terms of performance, wealth, popularity, etc. However, how often have we thought of winning sinners over to God? The heart of God is for His people to turn to Him. That is precisely the role of His church on earth, for the Christian community is to offer collective strength and guide to God’s beloved people. Yet, often, in dealing with sinners, the church is caught up with the tension of being either too judgmental and harsh, or being too soft on correcting a sinner and directing him/her toward repentance. How should the church balance God’s love and righteousness; care and correction? This message from <Mt 18:15-20> offers some principles in dealing with sinners and winning them over.
