Here is the link to the sermon that Phil Ryken preached at Elijah’s baptism. The text was Jeremiah 36:1-36. It was a great sermon with a very creative ending. This particular sermon exalted the centrality and importance of the word of God more than any I have heard in quite a while. Our friends, the Helfands, were also having their son, Daniel, baptized at this service.

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
