"Believe Your Baptism" | Romans 6:1-14
We are excited this Sunday to worship outside on Memorial Day Sunday and to celebrate the ordinance of baptism. Baptism is a central and foundational practice of the Christian church and a very important starting point for every Christian. For the Christian, your baptism serves your life much like a wedding ring is a reminder to you of the covenant that you entered into at the beginning of marriage. If you have been baptized as a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ, your baptism serves as a reminder not simply of what Christ has done for you but also, of the new dominant reality that shapes the rest of your life.
I don’t know if you have thought about this, but your baptism is a God-given tool for battling sin. It is an antidote for the spiritually defeatist mindset that can infiltrate our lives when the enemy attacks us as we go through a season of struggle, failure, temptation, or weakness.
Our message this week is called “Believe Your Baptism.” It’s a message not just for new Christians but a reminder to all Christians that you are not who you once were.
Come as we celebrate the baptisms of new Christians and as we remind ourselves of the beauty and power of our relationship with the risen Christ. Looking forward to worshipping and celebrating with you all. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and bring a friend! See you at 10 a.m. this Sunday.
