Join us for worship! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpawwWvjmyY Scripture: John 1:6-8, 15 (ESV) Title: John the Baptist Takes the Witness Stand Speaker: Steve Estes There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light...(John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'")
