Baptism of Jesus - Heaven to Earth - Matthew S1E2

In this message from Matthew 3, we encounter John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness with a simple but confrontational call: repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. As Jesus steps into the Jordan to be baptized, we see the upside-down nature of God’s kingdom on full display—where humility comes before power, obedience before recognition, and identity before performance. From repentance and fruit-bearing faith to sanctification, salvation, and the refining fire of the Holy Spirit, this passage invites us to re-examine how we’re doing life and whose way we’re truly following. John prepared the way for Jesus’ first coming—and now we are called to prepare people for His return. Where might God be asking you to change direction so heaven can break into earth through your life? 📣 Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Matthew 3 • Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • From Performance to Freedom: A Story of Surrender and Identity  • Baptism of Jesus - Heaven to Earth - Matthew S1E2 (Full Service)   • The Weight of Dad’s Words + The Love of the Father - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin: Matthew S1E2 • Matthew Season 1: Heaven to Earth Sermon Series  • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin  The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
