John: 6. John Becomes Less (John 3:22-36) | Michael Bouterse
from Thrive Harbor Hosted by Thrive Ministries
John the Baptist had once been "a big deal." Crowds had flocked to him. But now Jesus' ministry is growing, and John's ministry is starting to decline. How will John react? In John 3:22-36, we see that his response is joy! John is overjoyed to see Jesus' influence overshadow his, because his joy is found in seeing Jesus made great. In this message, Michael Bouterse, director of Thrive Harbor, shows how John's words can challenge us to view our lives the same way. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include John 1:6, 15; 3:22-36; 10:40-42; Matthew 3:1; 11:11; Mark 1:14; Judges 14-15; Luke 16:16; and 1 Thessalonians 4:11.
