The “John the Baptist Experience,” Part 1
In-Depth Bible Study
in the Gospel of Matthew, Week 6
an Audio Bible-Teaching Message
by
Jim Kerwin

Why did John the Baptist need to prepare the way for Jesus and His ministry?  And if a
“John the Baptist experience” had to precede Jesus’ first coming, is such an
experience necessary before He can return a second time?  Before He can truly come to an
individual?  A church?  The Church?  Pastor Jim Kerwin looks at all
of these questions in the first part of a multi-week series in Matthew’s Gospel, chapter
3.  (Notes used during the live Bible study can be
