God graciously gave us the practice of baptism as the physical experience of forgiveness and cleansing. Jesus was baptized. He commanded His disciples to baptize. The early church practiced baptism anytime someone believed in Jesus. And the New Testament writings point to baptism as an essential practice of the church. Jesus wants people to be baptized as an expression of their faith. If it’s important to Him, it should be important to us. This message will present the power and purpose of baptism and extend an invitation to those who have yet to be baptized to take this step toward Jesus today.
