Episode 616: John The Baptist - Point People to Jesus | Pastor Verna DeHart

John the Baptist – Point People to JesusWhat does it mean to faithfully fulfill your God-given assignment?In this powerful message from the Heroes and Great Stories of the Bible series, we look at the life of John the Baptist, a servant who understood that his purpose was never about gaining recognition, but about preparing the way for Jesus.John’s life teaches us that God prepares His servants before He presents them, and that hidden seasons are not wasted seasons. They are opportunities for God to strengthen our spirit, shape our character, and prepare us for the assignment ahead.We also discover what it means to be a true hero of faith: to speak the truth with courage, walk in humility, and point people to Christ rather than ourselves. John boldly proclaimed the truth, called people to repentance, and continually directed attention toward Jesus. His declaration, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” captures the heart of a life fully surrendered to God.This message challenges us to silence the voice of the flesh and listen to the voice of the Spirit, to choose faithfulness over recognition, obedience over compromise, and God’s approval over the applause of people.As you listen, ask yourself:Is my life pointing people to Jesus?This week, look for opportunities to encourage someone with Scripture, share your testimony, pray for someone, and demonstrate the love of Christ through your actions. Like John the Baptist, you may be the voice God uses to prepare someone’s heart to receive Jesus.You were not called to make your name great, you were called to make Jesus known.🎙️ Listen, be encouraged, and discover how your life can point people to Jesus.Soul Harvest Worship Center — Hosting His Presence and Revealing Christ.
