Baptism Sign Up  Talking to Your Kids About Baptism  Baptism Revival and the Next Generation  NT Wright - Do I Need to Be Baptized?  Baptism is: · Commanded by Jesus: Baptism is a key part of making disciples, commanded by Jesus in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19). · Repentance and Forgiveness: It symbolizes repentance and the forgiveness of sins, with a promise of receiving the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). · Salvation through Faith: Baptism is tied to belief and salvation, showing outward faith in Jesus (Mark 16:16). · Union with Christ's Death and Resurrection: Through baptism, believers are symbolically buried with Christ in His death and raised to a new life, identifying with His resurrection (Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12). · New Identity in Christ: Baptism represents putting on a new identity, being clothed with Christ (Galatians 3:27). · Spiritual Rebirth: Jesus teaches that baptism represents being born again by water and the Spirit, necessary for entering the kingdom of God (John 3:5). · Conscience before God: It's not just an external act but a spiritual appeal for a clear conscience through the resurrection of Jesus (1 Peter 3:21). · Cleansing from Sin: Baptism is a symbolic washing away of sins as believers call on the name of Jesus (Acts 22:16). · God's Mercy and Renewal: Baptism reflects God's mercy in regenerating and renewing believers by the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5). FAQs about Baptism What is baptism? Baptism is a beautiful ceremony where a person who has decided to follow Jesus Christ is immersed in water to demonstrate their faith in Him by publicly declaring Jesus Christ as their Lord and King. Baptism is the way Scripture teaches that we are united with Christ in his death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3-4). Baptism was a command of Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20) and Jesus himself was baptized (Luke 4:21-22). Baptism is for everyone who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and has decided to give their lives to him. Why does the Hills practice baptism by immersion (going under the water)? The word “baptism” we find in Scripture comes from a Greek word “baptizo” which means “to dip or immerse.” The examples we see in the New Testament show that the people who were being baptized went down into the water (Acts 8:26-38). And going completely under the water shows that we are participating with Jesus in his death, burial and resurrection (Romans 6:3-4). When we go under the water, it's as if we are dying and being buried. When we come back up from underneath the water, it's a sign of our resurrection and coming out of the grave as a brand new person. These are several reasons why we practice baptism by immersion at the Hills. Should I be baptized if I was baptized as an infant? Many people are baptized as an infant because their parents desired to dedicate them to the Lord and for his protection to be on their lives. We believe that choosing to be baptized later on in life honors that choice made on your behalf by someone else. As we read the New Testament, we see that the examples of all those who are baptized are people who are older and who are able to commit themselves to following Jesus Christ. So we welcome all those who have been baptized as an infant to be baptized again as a way to declare I personally choose to follow Jesus the rest of my days. Should I wait until I get my life together before I am baptized? We would emphatically say “no”! Waiting to come to Jesus until you get your life in order is like telling someone with a broken leg to set the bone themselves, splint it, learn how to walk on it, and then go see the doctor. We would never keep someone from the person who could heal them. The same is true with baptism. You come to Jesus, not because you have it all together, but precisely because you don't. The only thing we've proven on our own is that we can't do it on our own. Jesus is the only one that can put us back together. And it is by surrendering to Jesus that we receive his life, his healing, and the power of the Holy Spirit who begins to transform us from the inside out. Staying away from Jesus keeps us away from the only power that truly can change us. Come to Jesus, surrender to Him, be baptized, and watch what God can do in your life! How much do I or my children need to know before we are baptized? We have often made entrance into the Kingdom of Jesus a matter of information, when in reality it is a matter of surrender. A person does need to understand that Jesus declared that He was the Son of God and that our faith in Him is what saves us. A person needs to be able to understand that Jesus invites us to give up control of our lives so we can follow his ways and not our own. Beyond that, a person is free to come and learn about Jesus with Jesus instead of learning about him from a distance. Baptism is a starting place on our spiritual journey, not a test we must pass before we can begin. Jesus wants us to walk with him, learn from him as we go, and share as much life together we possibly can. Remember, Jesus is a person to love, not a subject to study. If you or your children believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and you are ready to follow Him, you are ready to begin that journey. We invite you to come and be baptized this Sunday! I've been baptized before but I'm not really sure I knew what I was doing or I haven't really followed Jesus since then. Do I need to be re-baptized? Certainly, when people are baptized, they need to be able to make a commitment that they believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that they want to surrender to Him. But remember, the power of salvation comes not from our knowledge and understanding of every aspect of the spiritual journey but from Jesus' grace. Often what is needed is not re-baptism but a deeper surrender to the decision that was already made. In some cases, a person made the decision to follow Jesus and was baptized but then decided to follow their own path which could've even led them into deep sin and wandering. In situations like this, what is needed is not re-baptism but repentance. Jesus' grace is so immensely powerful all that God is expecting from us is to turn our faces back to him and come home, making the decision to honor the commitment we've already made to follow him. And sometimes people are baptized because they had a parent or grandparent or friend who wanted them to be baptized and it wasn't really a commitment they were making on their own. In these situations, we would encourage the person to consider being baptized again. Going through the practice of being baptized without commitment and without faith and is just an exercise in getting wet. It is faith that saves us, not water. What should I expect on Baptism Sunday? Baptism Sunday will be a very exciting day! We will have our regular worship service at the Hills. At the end of our time of preaching and sharing God's Word, Pastor Rick will invite everyone who would like to be baptized to come towards the stage. There will be people there at the stage who will welcome you and walk with you back to get you registered. After we get you registered, we'll take you back to the dressing rooms where we will have clothes you can change into for your baptism. The dressing rooms are private and are separated for men and women. After you change into your clothes, you can leave your things in the dressing rooms and they will be watched and kept safe while you are baptized. You can choose someone to baptize you or one of our ministers at the church can baptize you. If you are going to have someone personal to you baptize you, they will need to change into clothes, as well. They can bring their own if they'd like or they can change into clothes we will have available. You then will go into the baptistry (the water is warm and is heated) and you will be baptized in front of the church. You'll then go back and change into your clothes. After changing, one of our elders will pray over you and your family and friends as you begin your new journey. There will also be photo backdrops set up so you can take pictures with family and friends on your big day!

Matthew 3:13-17

January 15, 2025

This week Luke's Gospel Luke 3:15-17, 21,22  brings us the story of Jesus' baptism, and God's gift of the Holy Spirit resting upon Jesus. The Epistle reading recalls the great blessing of the Holy Spirit bestowed on a group of new believers who had been baptised in Jesus' name. There are many blessings to unpack here for us who are baptised in Jesus' name!             We understand that through baptism we enter into the life and death of Jesus. We are clothed in His love and share in all the richness that God gives His Son. Sometimes we will suffer in this life of following Him, just as Jesus suffered. However, how much more are the blessings we receive! We are called ‘God's children', His ‘beloved', ‘heirs to the Kingdom through Christ'- and gifted the Holy Spirit to walk alongside us as we live. Through baptism God builds an ever-closer relationship with us, that we can never break! May your heart be filled with the joy and wonder of so many good gifts as you journey through this week.This message was written for LCA and read by Jimmy Hong Ning.Support the show

What might God have for us in this new year? In this season of looking ahead, we look to Jesus in Mark 1 to see what he encounters at a key turning point in his life and ministry.

In this episode, Dr. Nathaniel J. Wilson discusses: Getting your identity from the BibleMoving from Family of Adam to Family of ChristThe Spirit of Jesus Baptism in Jesus' name

In this sermon, Pastor JR reminds us that baptism and faith go hand in hand. It signifies our union with Jesus. Our sins become Christ's, and His grace, life, and salvation become ours, transforming our identity and inaugurating a new life filled with power and promise. Notes: Text: Romans 6:1-11 + Baptism is empty without faith and faith expresses itself through baptism + Baptism signifies and assures our union with Jesus 1 Corinthians 1:30 “And if they are one flesh and there is between them a true marriage … it follows that everything they have they hold in common, the good as well as the evil. Accordingly, the believing soul can boast of and glory in whatever Christ has as though it were its own, and whatever the soul has Christ claims as his own. Let us compare these and we shall see inestimable benefits. Christ is full of grace, life, and salvation. The soul is full of sins, death, and damnation. Now let faith come between them and sins, death, and damnation will be Christ's, while grace, life, and salvation will be the soul's; for if Christ is a bridegroom, he must take upon himself all the things which are his bride's and bestow upon her the things that are his. If he gives her his body and very self, how shall he not give her all that is his? And if he takes the body of the bride, how shall he not take all that is hers?” -       Martin Luther. + Baptism gives us a new crucified and risen identity in Jesus + Baptism inaugurates a new life with power and new capacities in Jesus 2 Corinthians 5:17 + Baptism makes a promise to us about our future + Know and Count these things to be true  

The baptism of Jesus mirrors elements in the story of Noah's Ark.  These similarities are so profound and intentional that the comparisons should not be overlooked.  What exactly does the baptism of Jesus mean for the world and what message is God sending with the following events?  To find more "Uncensored Christian" content including Video versions of the podcast, Social Media links, and more use the Link down below!https://lnk.bio/dantewIf you would like to support this podcast financially you can give online by clicking here https://paypal.me/uchristianpod?locale.x=en_US.

FCIM Baptism Teaching Session | Pst Elliot Lamptey

Luke: The Person and Mission of Jesus / Baptism; Jesus / Exodus 14:26-31; Exodus 15:25-27; Exodus 16:1-3; Luke 3:21-22; Matthew 3:16-17; Mark 1:10-11; John 1:19-27; John 1:29-34; John 3:22-30; John 3:31-36. 

Baptism remains a point of controversy in Christian circles. However, overlooked in the whole discussion is the connection between Jesus' baptism by John and believer's baptism as ordained through Peter on Pentecost. And this connection is marvelously beautiful as we see with everything to which God puts His hand.

Key Response: You can turn to Jesus and trust him because he knows you and your needs.Mark 1:9-15 One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him. Later on, after John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, where he preached God's Good News. “The time promised by God has come at last!” he announced. “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!”His BaptismMark 1:9-11 One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.”Last week → looked at John's practice of baptismRecap: what was it for? Repent and turn to God…But what actually is baptism? Describe the practice of baptism.So one day, among all the crowds coming out to receive John's baptism → Jesus showed upDid Jesus need to repent and turn to God? (4)No, the Bible says he was without sin. (We'll look at this below.)”So why baptism?Jesus was going public.Note that this is his first public act, and note the heavenly signs that accompanied it to put God's stamp of approval on Jesus. God agrees with and adds to John's testimony of Jesus.Always did / said what the Father led him to do / say.John 8:29 “For I always do what pleases him.By the way, Jesus' baptism reveals the triune nature of God.Even though he was fully human, he was still fully God → 2nd person of the TrinityAll of them seen here: Father, Son, Holy Spirit (dove)Jesus was identifying with humanity.Baptism reveals his real humanity. He didn't just appear to be human. He entered fully into our reality. Hebrews 2:14 Because God's children are human beings - made of flesh and blood - the Son also became flesh and blood….To the point of being baptized, even though he had nothing to repent of.Application: I hope you come away realizing how amazing Jesus is! Truly worthy of our attention: fully God, yet truly one of us.Application: get baptized!When you turn from self to follow Jesus…Baptism doesn't save us, but it is a way that we identify with himRomans 6:3-4 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.He identified w/humanity by being baptized even when he didn't need toWe now identify with Jesus by being baptized in his nameHis TemptationMark 1:12-13 The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him.Saw last week → significance of wildernessPeople would have thought of Israel in the wilderness of SinaiJesus' 40 days in wilderness reminds us of the 40 years Israel spent there.What this points to = Jesus was identifying with fallen humanityWe saw = Israel failed their wilderness testBy contrast, Jesus passed his Keep in mind Satan's goal of temptation = to entice all people to sin. To choose something that looks good...

Jesus when he was 30 years of age went to the Jordan River where John the Baptizer was preaching and dipping people in the river . He preached. the necessity of repentance and confession of sin to prepare for the coming of the kingdom of God when the Messiah arrived. John was the Forerunner but Messiah was coming after him. When Jesus waded in the river to John and asked to be immersed John at protested. Jesus answered him, -Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.- Then John allowed him to be baptized. After Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water.-Then a revelation, a manifestation that was the Messiah was given as witnessed by himself and by John. An opening in the sky, a descent of a dove and remain over his head and the Voice of the Father. This is my beloved Son.-This message explores what this meant to Jesus and relates how it affects believers.

Awaken kicks off a new series looking at the humanity of Jesus and his journey from baptism to transfiguration.
