Today is a short message/devotion over all of those getting baptized in the pond at the fellowship luncheon! The Lord calls those who have chose Jesus as Lord and savior of their life to follow the Lord in believers baptism, not as part of their salvation, but as a outward picture of what's already been done on the inside!
Pastor Gregg shares wisdom from Paul's Baptism. Baptism was Paul's first priority as a believer. He became a Christian and then he was baptized. It is your personal decision as a believer to be baptized by immersion. It is an outward expression of an inward change. It is a significant symbol of the salvation that you received in Christ. Baptism shows a beautiful picture of the death, burial, & resurrection of Jesus.

Colin and Ben discuss the brand new Red Church Door Podcast at www.redchurchdoor.org and share this wonderful content. At the 2019 Forma conference, Colin interviewed author Anna V. Ostenso Moore about her book "Today is a Baptism Day" available now from Church Publishing. Special thanks to the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta's youth ministry podcast with producing this episode. https://www.annavostensomoore.com/ https://www.churchpublishing.org/todayisabaptismday https://www.eycdioatl.org/podcast.html
The Rev. Anna V. Ostenso Moore is the Associate Priest for Family Ministry at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Minneapolis, and is the author of Today is a Baptism Day, a children’s picture book recently released by Church Publishing. On today’s episode, I sat down to what I thought was simply a conversation about the book, but as you’ll hear, dives much deeper into Anna’s personal life, and how the current position she and her husband find themselves, highlights the difference between the very present idea of Baptism and the agony of waiting for God’s time. --- From Anna’s Website:Wife, priest, daughter, sister, aunt, godparent, and friend, her greatest joys include dancing at every opportunity, a good pot of tea with her husband, David, and exploring new places with her family. The Rev. Anna V. Ostenso Moore found the Episcopal Church as a teenager. Sitting by the side of a lake in Northern Minnesota after college graduation, she felt a call to faith formation grounded in community, wonder, Holy mystery, and our Sacred Stories. That call has led her across the Atlantic Ocean and back. Her educational background includes a BA in Chinese International Studies from Middlebury College, Vermont and an MA in Youth Ministry and Theological Education from King’s College, London. She currently the Associate Priest for Family Ministry at St. Mark’s Cathedral. She spent years reading a picture book in worship every Sunday, wondering where God was within the words and images. Her first picture book, “Today is a Baptism Day,” which she wrote to reflect the beauty of the families with whom she works, is now available. -- You Can Purchase: Today is a Baptism Day on Amazon Today is a Baptism Day: An ideal book to read with children to wonder and learn about baptism, with illustrations that reflect the diversity of God’s people. Grounded in the Episcopal liturgical tradition, it is an accessible and inviting introduction to baptism for children and families of many Christian traditions. While learning what occurs during a baptism service, the reader (both child and parent) will be guided through the sacramental and communal aspects of the celebration. Beautifully illustrated in full color, a dedication page encourages personalization of the book, making it a perfect baptism gift. A family section offers questions and suggests ways to go deeper in conversation about baptism, making it a resource that families will use again and again with their children. -- If you know anyone who may be seeking parents to adopt their child, please share Anna and David with them.

BAPTISM DAY! Strengthening Your Core "What is Your Song? "What is Baptism?
Sunday morning worship at Altadena Baptist Church, March 18, 2018. Sermon by Pastor Connie Larson DeVaughn: "Baptism Day" [Matthew 3:13-17].
I Am Baptized Into Christ(Titus 3:3-7)Titus 3:3-7-- At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.The date was June 13th, 1982 and it was the most important day of my life. This date was more important than the day I graduated high school. It was more important than the day I got married. It was even more important than the day I was ordained as a pastor. What happened on June 13th, 1982? It wasn’t the day I was born. That happened exactly a week earlier. But on June 13th, 1982, I was baptized. A little bit of water was placed on my head, the words “I baptize you in the name of God, the Father, God, the Son and God, the Holy Spirit” were spoken over me and I became a baptized child of God. If anyone ever asks me why my Baptism Day is the most important day in my life, if anyone wonders how this event, which only took a few seconds, can be the most important event that will ever happen to me, the answer is quite simple. It’s because at Baptism, I was baptized into Christ.That’s important to remember. It’s important to remember that at every Baptism, no matter how young or old the person is, the person being baptized is baptized into Christ, because being baptized into Christ, is not something that we can see with our eyes. It’s not something that people perceive with their senses.What do people see at Baptism? At Baptism, all people see is water, regular, ordinary water that we usually get from the kitchen sink. They know that this water is powerless in and of itself. They know that this water can’t perform any miracles. So since all people see and perceive is water, regular, ordinary water, it is very easy for people to think that Baptism is just a ritual, just a passing of age rite that is more symbolic than anything else. How can this simple washing with regular, ordinary water, this washing which takes about five seconds to complete, how can this washing be so powerful?To answer that question, it is helpful to go all the way back to Jesus’ Baptism in the Jordan River. On this first Sunday after the Epiphany, the season where Jesus is revealing himself as the Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, we always look at Jesus being baptized in the Jordan River, an event that was so important to Jesus that it kicked off Jesus’ public ministry. Out of everything he could have done to reveal himself as the Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, Jesus chose being baptized by John in the Jordan River. Why did he choose this event to begin his public ministry?It wasn’t because he needed his sins taken away. Remember that Jesus had no sins. He was perfect. So he couldn’t be baptized to have his sins taken away. Instead he wasbaptized to become sin for you. He was baptized so that the Spirit could come down in the form of the dove and anoint him to be your Savior. He was baptized so that the Father’s voice could boom down from heaven, proclaiming to everyone who was there, who Jesus was and what he was sent into the world. That’s what the water of Jesus’ Baptism did for him. It anointed him and set him apart in a public way, from everyone else in the world for the special purpose of being the one, who would save all mankind from their sins.Didn’t something similar happen to you at your Baptism? Weren’t you anointed or set apart by the Spirit in a public way at your Baptism for a special purpose?Look at our text from the book of Titus. The book of Titus makes no bones about our condition and the condition of all people by nature. Look at what Paul says to Titus. He says, “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.” While we don’t like to think of ourselves acting in that way, while we don’t like to think of our children, our little angels, who look so sweet and innocent when they are born, being this evil, there is no doubt that this is who we are and who our children are and who all people are by nature. We all are as evil as the book of Titus describes.But God didn’t want us to remain that way. He didn’t want our children to remain that way. So even though there was nothing good in us or in our children or in anyone in this world, God showed us “kindness and love” as Paul writes to Titus, kindness and love that wasn’t forced by our righteous deeds, (For we had none.) but kindness and love that simply appeared out of God, because that is who he is. What did this kindness and love of God force God to do? It forced him to save us, of course.It was the kindness and love of God that forced him to send down his one and only Son to this earth, as a human being. And it was kindness and love of God that forced him to anoint his Son or set him apart at his Baptism in a very public way, to be the one, who would take the sins of the world on his shoulders and suffer and die to pay for each and every one of those sins. Because the kindness and love of God forced him set apart his Son, his only begotten Son, at his Baptism, for that holy purpose, to be the Savior of the world, that same kindness and love of God forces him to set you apart at your Baptisms, not to be the Savior, the one, who would suffer and die, (That was Jesus) but the kindness and love of God forced him to set you apart at your Baptisms to be saved, to be someone who would have all their sins removed from them forever.Baptism is not just a washing with water. Even though that is all that we see with our eyes and all that we perceive with our senses, Baptism is not just a washing with water. But when that water is connected with God’s Word, when the water is connected with the words, “I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Christ becomes present in the waters of Holy Baptism. He becomes present to wash you in his holy and precious blood. He becomes present to forgive all your sins. He becomes present to unite you to his death and his resurrection so that you can be saved and live with him for all eternity in heaven.That’s what it means to be baptized into Christ. It means that at Baptism, you are not just washed with water, but at Baptism you are joined together with Christ. Since you are joined to the one, who was baptized into sin, you can now be baptized out of sin. Since you are joined to the one, who was baptized to be your Savior, you can be baptized to be saved. Since you are joined to the one, who was baptized to be the one who would suffer and die to pay for the sins of the whole world, you can be baptized to the one, who will never die, but will live forever in heaven.After all, that’s why Paul can call Baptism what he does in the book of Titus. Do you remember what he calls it? He calls Baptism, “a washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” Do you understand what that means?What does it mean to be reborn? To be reborn means that you had to start all over. Since you were born the first time so evil and full of sin, you couldn’t be reformed or taught to act differently. You were too wicked for that to happen. Instead you had to start all over. You had to be killed in the waters of Baptism and born again, not born in sin, like you were the first time, but you had to be born of water and of Spirit. And to be renewed is a similar concept. Renewal here does not mean renovated or repaired. That’s not the meaning of the Greek word here at all. Instead, renewal means to be completely and utterly changed in every way. It’s like a dog being changed into a cat or a dead person being changed so that he is alive. That’s what renewal means here. Since you were so evil by nature, the only way you could be saved and enter heaven is by being completely and utterly changed in every way, so that you are no longer evil, but perfect.When you understand what those terms mean, when you understand thata when you are baptized into Christ, you are reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit, do you see why your Baptism day is the most important day of your life? Since you are baptized into Christ, the one who died and rose for you, Baptism is where your life started over. Since you are baptized into Christ, the one, who died and rose for you, Baptism was where you were completely and utterly changed. Since you were baptized into Christ, the one, who died and rose for you, Baptism makes you no longer a wicked sinner destined for hell, but a perfect saint destined for heaven. As Paul concludes in this great section about Baptism, Baptism means that “having been justified by grace, we might become heirs, having the hope of eternal life.” What a wonderful blessing, Baptism is!I’ve been here for 8 ½ years now and in those 8 ½ years, I’ve done 44 Baptisms. All 44 of those Baptisms have been extremely special, because at every single one of those Baptisms, the same miracle happened. At every one of those Baptisms, whether it was a tiny infant, being held by a parent, or whether it was a 92 year old man, whose eyes were filled with tears, at every one of those Baptisms, Christ was present, washing that person in this blood, forgiving that person from their sins and uniting that person to his death and resurrection so that that person could be saved. That happened at every single one of the 44 Baptisms that have happened here in the past 8 ½ years. And it happened at your Baptism, whenever that was.So treasure your Baptism. Think about it often. Think about when your conscience is plagued with guilt. Think about it when Satan is tempting you. Think about it, when you are loved one are about to die and leave this world. I promise you that when you think about your Baptism, when you remember that when you were baptized, you were baptized into Christ, all fear and doubt will be removed from your heart and you will become certain that since you are joined together to Christ, the one, who was anointed to be your Savior, you will be saved and will live with your God for all eternity in heaven.
