Due to last week's winter weather, we missed our time of worship. This Sunday, we will gather to celebrate Baptism of the Lord Sunday with the sermon "Plain Ordinary Water," based on Mark 1:4-11. As we reflect on Jesus' baptism by John, let's take a moment to consider the meaning of our own baptism.

Baptism of the Lord Sunday Luke 3:1-6, 21-22  at Common Table: Lessons Underwater w/ Drew Willson

This weekend brought a rare Snow Day to Newnan, so in an abundance of caution Newnan First United Methodist canceled in-person services. Revs. Andrew Chappell and Connor Bell gathered to record a devotional that was live streamed, which you can listen to here!    The following was also sent out in an email: In the life of the church, today is known as Baptism of the Lord Sunday. This is a day every year that we celebrate the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. The story according to Luke is as follows: As the people were filled with expectation and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John [the Baptist], whether he might be the Messiah, John answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water, but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” Now when all the people were baptized and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.” For Luke and the other gospel writers, this moment is the launching point of Jesus' ministry. And from this point on, baptism becomes a key sacrament in the Christian story. In our tradition, baptism is both an individual and a communal act. The individual being baptized (or sponsor) takes vows to uphold after his or her baptism (or upon confirmation). And the community then makes its covenant once again to uphold the vows they took at their baptism. Thus, baptism is a covenant between the individual, God, and the church community. Baptism is also a celebration of the community of faith. Whenever a baptism occurs, it reminds us of our shared history and our ongoing journey together. Baptism strengthens our bond as Christians. Lastly, baptism is a reminder of Christ's presence. It signifies the ongoing presence of Christ within the individual and within the community. Christ is not gone. He is with us and he is in us! In the United Methodist Church, we have a ritual to let everyone once again hear the promises made and the blessings conferred, “A Service of Reaffirmation,” (a reaffirmation of the covenant, we call it). It's a way of saying again what we said or was said in our name at our baptism. I invite you to read through the vows of the Reaffirmation of Baptism liturgy below and spend a moment in reflection. Think about how it is you are living out the covenant vows of your baptism today. Baptismal Vows and Reaffirmation. Do you renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness, reject the evil powers of this world, and repent of your sin? I do.   Do you accept the freedom and power God gives you to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves? I do.   Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior, put your whole trust in his grace, and promise to serve him as your Lord, in union with the Church which Christ has opened to people of all ages, nations, and races? I do.   According to the grace given to you, will you remain faithful members of Christ's holy Church and serve as Christ's representatives in the world? I will.   Let us rejoice in the faithfulness of our covenant God. We give thanks for all that God has already given us. As members of the body of Christ and in this congregation of The United Methodist Church, we will faithfully participate in the ministries of the Church by our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.   Friends, on this Baptism of the Lord Sunday, remember your baptism and be thankful!   “Today is a grand celebration of the community of faith. It is a day of worship of the one who went into the water for us, with us, and promised to be present among us always.” -quote from UMC Discipleship

Who am I? Where do I belong? These aren't just questions for kids or teenagers—they're questions we all wrestle with throughout life. On this Baptism of the Lord Sunday, we explore the truth that God calls us by name: beloved, precious, and His. But this identity isn't just about feeling good—it's about transformation and mission. When we know who we are in Christ, we are freed to change and help others see their true identity too. So, what labels are you carrying that don't belong to you? And who in your life needs a mirror held up to remind them they're beloved?

In our Traditional message from January 12, 2025, Andy shares from Luke 2: 15-22. On this Baptism of the Lord Sunday, we talk about the promises we make to God in our baptism, but more importantly, we talk about the promise God makes to us.

It's "Sea World Sunday" at North Decatur, ie, Baptism of the Lord Sunday, ie, the Sunday when we get a little bit wet in worship. This Sunday, we read the story of Jesus' baptism from Luke, chapter 3. We also remember our own baptisms, and feel the water from the font on our heads and shoulders. At the same time, we hear John the Baptizer call us "a brood of vipers" and challenge us to "bear fruits worthy of repentance."

On Baptism of the Lord Sunday, we take a look at family as God intended. "God's Funny Family" explains what baptism is really all about. It is the subject of this episode of TURNING HOME.

In our Traditional message from January 12, 2025, Andy shares from Luke 2: 15-22. On this Baptism of the Lord Sunday, we talk about the promises we make to God in our baptism, but more importantly, we talk about the promise God makes to us.

DateJanuary 12, 2025SynopsisWhen God writes "Beloved" on our hearts, it transforms how we see ourselves and each other. Like a child proudly writing their name, like friends recognizing each other's baby pictures, like communities holding space for both joy and sorrow—we're called to live as if we actually believe we're beloved, and to create spaces where others can discover they are too.ReferencesScripture: Luke 3:15–17; 21–22 About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

What might baptism have meant for Jesus and what might it mean for us today? On the Baptism of the Lord Sunday, Christopher Mack plunges into waters of chaos and upheaval to hear baptism  as an invitation to be transformed into the person, who by God's grace, we are called into becoming…for God, ourselves, and one another. [Isaiah 43:1-2; Luke 3:21-22]   Reflection What wisdom have you gained from participating in a community moving through fear and upheaval together?  How can we reorient ourselves around that which is life-giving, for our flourishing, inviting us into mutuality and interdependent beloved community? If you feel you've lost sight of who you're becoming in Christ, how can you listen for the voice calling you beloved this week?

Homily from The Baptism of The Lord Sunday

Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches on Baptism of the Lord Sunday. The Scripture passage is Acts 8:18-24.

Named and Claimed – We are in a series of scriptures and sermons under the theme, “Who is calling you?,” that will take us to Lent. This is the Baptism of the Lord Sunday when we not only review the story of the baptism of Jesus, but we take opportunity to remember our own baptism and rehearse it in several ways. We have baptized many children in the past year, and we are often delighted with those infants and their baptisms. Yet those words and voice of God in baptism follow us as we grow up and through our adulthood. But do we see ourselves in the midst of our adult lives as having the voice of God in the waters of baptism for us? Much as the words of our scripture today (Isaiah 43.1-7) are from God claiming God's people, no matter where they are, with love and honor, so the waters of baptism flow through the center of our lives, reminding us that we are worthy, loved, named, and claimed by God. Recalling our baptism is a way to recall God's lasting love for us.

Matt and Zach discuss the importance of Baptism of the Lord Sunday and ways to meaningfully incorporate baptism into church life. They emphasize the significance of remembering one's baptism and the theological understanding of baptism as a one-time sacramental act in the United Methodist tradition. The pastors share ideas for helping congregants engage with baptism more regularly, such as using water for remembrance rituals, discussing baptismal vows quarterly, and making baptismal fonts more accessible. They also note the challenge of addressing requests for rebaptism while maintaining doctrinal integrity.

Serving the Lord - Sunday Morning 05-26-24

Message from Pastor Tom Hauser on May 26, 2024

We continue our sermon series on "Paradigm". Pastor Johnny gives the message "The Day of the Lord" based on 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. Come with us as we study Paul's letters to the Thessalonians, and discover a pattern for living life and having faith.

Hey, y'all! Welcome to the Gary Church Podcast . . . from Gary Church, here in Wheaton, IL. This is our last episode of the Gary Church Podcast and we want to thank all our subscribers and listeners over the last 4 years. We began this ministry as a way to reach out to folks during COVID. As our weekly live-streaming services have taken root and grown (which can be found at www.garychurch.org), the need for this podcast has ended. We want to especially thank Tony Venezia and Deb Evans for all their hard work on this project, as well as those generous donors who funded the ministry, but would rather not be named. We thought it fitting to end with the glory of the resurrection, our true end as Christians! May those who have not discovered him yet come to find Christ as Lord and Savior through these episodes, and those who follow Christ already be strengthened in their faith.This is the scripture and sermon from March 31, 2024- the First Sunday of Easter . . . Resurrection of the Lord Sunday!  Our scripture is read by Cindy Plate (00:05) and the sermon by Rev. Dr. Chris Pierson is entitled "Whom Are You Looking For?" (02:44). At Gary Church our mission through Christ is to grow in joyful faith and serve all in love!  John 20:1-18 Revised Common Lectionary
