Teaching on Mark 1:9-11

Send us a textThe question reverberates through Christian history: Why would a sinless Savior need baptism? Mitchell tackles this profound theological mystery with clarity and depth in this illuminating episode of the Pure Faith Podcast.Diving into the baptism of Jesus recorded in Matthew 3:13-17, Mitchell unpacks three compelling reasons behind this pivotal moment. First, it marked the official launch of Jesus's public ministry at age 30, when Jewish tradition allowed him to formally take on disciples as a rabbi. While Jesus had been discussing Scripture since childhood (as seen during his temple visit at age 12), this moment represented his official step into public teaching.Second, this sacred moment created the divine stage for the Holy Spirit's descent and God's thunderous proclamation: "This is my Son, with whom I am well pleased." This heavenly endorsement announced Jesus's identity to all present—and perhaps even alerted dark forces to the Messiah's arrival, though they couldn't comprehend how his eventual death would fulfill God's redemptive plan.Most poignantly, Jesus's baptism demonstrated his willingness to identify with sinners despite his own sinlessness. This wasn't about elevating humanity to his level but about Jesus descending to ours—the first step in his journey toward taking on our sin at Calvary. Mitchell brilliantly connects this to baptism's consistent biblical meaning of death, burial, and resurrection, tracing this pattern through Noah's flood, the Red Sea crossing, and the Jordan River.Mitchell closes with powerful personal insights, sharing his own adult baptism story despite being baptized as an infant, and urging believers not to delay baptism until they've "cleaned up their lives." The message resonates with both new and seasoned believers: just as Jesus began his ministry with baptism, so should we begin our faith journey—not after achieving perfection, but precisely because we need the transformative power baptism represents.Support the showSupport our ministryCheck us out at purefaithliving.comContact us at purefaithliving.com/contactFollow us on twitter @purefaithlivingFollow us on Facebook at Pure Faith Podcast

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Two and Verse Forty One

August 10, 2025 Today's Reading: Luke 12:22-34 (35-40)Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 25:23-44; 1 Corinthians 4:1-21“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. These verses speak about anxiety. Yikes. Guilty—party of one. And often, when I read them, I immediately become anxious about how anxious I am and how I am not trusting…because I am anxious. Lord, forgive me, a sinner. Look at these words, though: “fear not…it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Fear not; deep breath. In my anxiety, I am afraid. I'm afraid to fail, afraid to be hurt, afraid I'm not enough, afraid that I don't have control…afraid. And yet, Jesus tells us to fear not. And here's the thing—Jesus is trustworthy. He can and does back up that directive. He has the answers to all my fears. Failure, hurt, enoughness, control…all of these flow out of my sinful, selfish nature. The Law shows me that I am a failure, hurtful, inadequate, out-of-control sinner. And yet, Jesus can and does tell me not to fear because He has paid for all of that; He has covered my shame and guilt. It is His now, and He has left it in the tomb—forever gone and buried. Fear not. And now, I can joyfully receive the Father's good pleasure! I can receive His Kingdom with peace and certainty! In my Baptism, Jesus takes my anxiety and gives me peace. It is through His work that I am right before God and safely found within His Father's House. Perhaps you, too, struggle with anxiety. Perhaps you, too, know that you are a sinner and worry about it. Make the sign of the cross, dear Baptized child of God. Remember that it is Jesus Who takes your sin and shame, and it is Jesus Who defeated it for you. Go to the Divine Service and hear the words of Absolution announced to you. Take Jesus' Body and Blood for the forgiveness of your sins. Hear God's Word and be strengthened by His promises. You may still struggle with anxiety, but it does not define you. You are Baptized; you are named as one who belongs to Christ, and you can truly fear not. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty and merciful God, it is by Your grace that we live as Your people who offer acceptable service. Grant that we may walk by faith, and not by sight, in the way that leads to eternal life; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen (LSB, Collect of the Day)Deac. Sarah Longmire, Bible study editor for Higher Things.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.Study the early Church Fathers, Scripture, and Christian history alongside FLAME's conversational voice to see for yourself why their teachings from Scripture are important to study, and live out, today.

Big Idea:  Baptism is our crossing over from the wilderness to a land flowing with milk and honey. Genesis 7:16 1 Peter 3:20 Exodus 14:15-16,21-22 Joshua 3:17 Matthew 3:5-6 V. 7-10 V. 11-12 V. 13-15 V. 16-17 Baptism is for those who know they need saving and that only ONE is capable of saving them. The post You baptized Who? appeared first on Kalkaska Church of Christ.

Katy Lane was raised Catholic, but her passion for God was sparked when she was baptized in the Holy Spirit. At that very moment, Katy was healed of the deep trauma she had suffered from abuse as a girl. Miraculously, she was able to forgive. It was then that Katy truly began to live her faith.   Before this, Katy was hesitant to share her faith. In this “Women of Wisdom” series, Katy shares how she learned, “Your mess is your message.” Listen and discover how, “Your test is your testimony.” Katy shares her message of healing and hope in small groups and her ministerial work. She teaches Bible Study and art classes at Room in the Inn, a Day Shelter in Nashville, TN.

We continue our examination of the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. Fr. Mike explores that interior conversion, or conversion of the heart, is a radical reorientation of our whole life. Conversion is so much more than just going through the motions or checking off the boxes. He emphasizes that interior conversion and repentance requires an active hatred for sin. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1427-1433. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Got baptized before you were truly saved? This is more common than you might think. In this episode of Marked by Grace, Heath Lambert addresses a listener's question about getting baptized at 14 without being saved, then coming to faith at 35. Using Romans 6:1-4, discover why baptism is a sign that only has meaning when the spiritual reality it represents has actually occurred in your heart. Learn the biblical difference between getting wet and being truly baptized, plus Heath's personal story of his own childhood "baptism" that wasn't really baptism at all.Timestamps0:00 - Introduction: The question of getting baptized again0:46 - The listener's scenario: Baptized at 14, saved at 351:12 - Heath's answer: Yes, you need to be baptized1:18 - Heath's personal story: Childhood baptism without faith2:04 - The grandmother who demanded baptism2:46 - Going down the aisle under pressure3:25 - Why that baptism was meaningless spiritually3:54 - Getting truly saved at age 144:21 - Realizing the first baptism didn't count4:34 - Romans 6:1-4: The meaning of baptism explained5:30 - Baptism as a sign and picture of spiritual reality5:57 - When the sign means nothing: Getting wet vs. being baptized6:36 - Why it's not "baptized again" but "baptized for the first time"7:10 - The call to be baptized now as a believerKey PointsBaptism Requires Faith: Baptism without genuine faith in Jesus Christ is just getting wet. The spiritual reality must exist before the physical act has any meaning.The Sign vs. The Reality: Baptism is a sign that points to a spiritual reality - dying to sin with Christ and being raised to new life. If the reality hasn't happened, the sign is meaningless.Common Scenario: Many people get baptized before they're truly saved - whether as children, teenagers, or adults who thought they believed but hadn't genuinely trusted Christ.Biblical Foundation: Romans 6:1-4 explains that baptism represents our spiritual death and resurrection with Christ. Paul assumes all believers have been baptized because it's the natural response to salvation.Not "Again" But "For the First Time": If you weren't saved when you were first baptized, you weren't really baptized at all - you just got wet. True baptism happens when you're baptized as a genuine believer.Personal Responsibility: Even if you were baptized due to family pressure, church tradition, or personal decision before salvation, you need to be baptized as a believer to properly signify what God has done in your heart.The Picture of Baptism: Going under the water represents death to sin (like Jesus in the tomb), coming up represents resurrection to new life (like Jesus rising from the dead).Scripture ReferencesRomans 6:1-4 - "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." - The meaning and necessity of baptism for believersHave a question you'd like answered?
