Baptism represents the believer uniting to Christ in his death to sin and also to his resurrection to new life. THe new life is not one enslaved to sin but to life the new life to God.

Chad Puckett continues our series in Colossians by diving into chapter 3, calling followers of Jesus to let the peace of Christ rule, putting to death the old and putting on the new.

May 18, 2025 sermon from Providence Reformed Church Las Vegas by Pastor Travis Peterson

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. INTRODUCTION: Starting a relationship with God is very simple. It's simply a matter of opening your heart to talk to Him and listening for Him to speak to you. The Holy Spirit will show you your need in how to relate to the Lord. It starts with the awareness that the Lord loves you; He has given Himself as a sacrifice so that you may know Him. SHOW NOTES: Starting in a new life in Christ can begin by you simply asking Him to know Him. This is not about performance, where you try to “do things” to please the Lord. Ways to open the door for His presence can include praying, or talking to Him, reading the Scriptures, reaching into a teaching from someone who has a walk with God. Surround yourself with people who love you and have a walk with God. Realize that you grow in a progression as you expose yourself to Him, but you start simply like a child. When you come across things that you don't understand, let Him know. Ask Him to reveal to you someone that can help you to understand. QUOTATIONS: When a person starts out in their walk with God, they need to know that their sins are forgiven. They need to know that the Lord loves them and He gave Himself for them. Just express your heart--”Here I am, Lord, take me, use me, show me.” Always keep in front of your mind that He's the potter and you're the clay. Talk to the Lord about all the things that you're concerned about. Talk to Him openly about it, but keep an open heart. Entering into the whole concept of really knowing the Lord—make it so very simple. The more you add to it, the more complicated it gets. Start with the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Starting there you get the basics of what a walk with God is. When you open your heart for the first time to the Lord, you are totally dependent upon Him. Connecting in with people that love the Lord, that have a mature relationship with the Lord and that you trust is...

Pastor Jesse preach this Sunday on how baptism is obedience to the word, that our old self is dead, and we're a new creation in christ.    Main Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20   *This episode was recorded on 04/27/25

The phrase "in Christ" shows up many times in Ephesians. This phrase is important as it points to our new identity once we accept Christ into our hearts and lives. Nothing can change this, and this changes everything. In this sermon, Pastor Byron Ellis expounds five things we are in Christ. These truths are imperative for us because once we discover who we are (in Christ) we will know how to live.

Baptism: Celebrating our New Life In Christ

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --New life in Christ should lead to a life faithful to God's mission! Later, Jesus appeared again to the disciples beside the Sea of Galilee. This is how it happened. Several of the disciples were there, Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples. Simon Peter said, “I'm going fishing.” “We'll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. John 21:1-3 NLTRemember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:18 ESV Be careful not to allow the familiar to become an obstacle to you faithfully following God!Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. Ecclesiastes 7:10 ESVAt dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was. He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!” So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. John 21:4-6 NLTSuccessful disobedience can be devastating to the will and destiny of God for your life!God is faithful to remind us of His will and our call, even when we're wandering backward instead of forward! Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore. When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread. John 21:7-9 NLTFaith and faithfulness for living on mission with God comes from recognizing and remembering who Jesus is and who He has called you to be!Bring some of the fish you've just caught,” Jesus said. So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn't torn. John 21:10 NLTEven though Jesus is the one who provides, we are ALL called to bring fish to the fire as well!Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead. John 21:12-14 NLTGod will use the very things the enemy has used against you to build your destiny and His Kingdom.After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs.” John 21:15 NLTJesus provides what we need to be whole and healthy and then calls us to share His blessing with others. Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

Sunday Morning

Sunday Morning

John 3:9-10 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?” Nicodemus was puzzled and confused at Jesus' talk about the new birth by the Holy Spirit. “How can these things be?” In 1 Corinthians 2:14, Paul wrote, “But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.” Spiritual life cannot be understood by the natural man. Having biblical knowledge also isn't the same as having a spiritual life in Christ. Nick was considered to be the teacher of Israel, not just a teacher in Israel. Certainly, he was knowledgeable of the Old Testament history and theology. Nevertheless, he could not understand how new birth by the Spirit was possible. Why are spiritual things difficult to understand for those who don't have spiritual life in Christ? Jesus had just told Nicodemus why the natural man cannot understand the things of God when He said, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” The apostle Paul further explained why the flesh cannot grasp spiritual life in Romans 8:5-8. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. I was not given spiritual life until I was 29. I grew up attending church, learning about the Bible, having been a youth director, and was a teacher. When I look back at those years, the Spirit of God was with me, making me hungry for spiritual life. Like Nicodemus, I was drawn to people who had spiritual life because I wanted what they had. I wanted to know what I could do to get it. And therein lies the hostility of the flesh. Isn't there something I can do to get life? And the answer is, “No.” New life in Christ comes like the wind. One can't control it. One can't make it happen. It is a gift from above. The encouragement we gain from this truth is that if one is hungry for it, like Nicodemus was, the wind is already blowing, and the hunger is the sound of it. The Father is blowing the hungry soul to Jesus like He did Nicodemus. Living to love with Christ is a result of being wind-blown by the Spirit. Love is the sign or fruit of the Spirit. Do you understand how this can be? If so, rejoice and love on. If not, don't be discouraged. You are standing in the wind, and in time, you will understand because you will experience the glorious, powerful work of the living Son of God as His Spirit moves in your heart and soul. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

This week's message is the personal story of conversion of a young man who was facing emptiness in a life of nightclubs and drugs, and battling despair in the philosophies and religions of men. Evangelist Larry Perkins tells us his story of how he was found by the Lord Jesus Christ and given new life and new hope by receiving Christ personally as his own Saviour.             

Jase suffers a communication breakdown that spiraled into a full-on meltdown at a steakhouse — or so he thought — and he had to swallow his pride and make it right. The guys celebrate a major answered prayer in Godwin's family as his son-in-law was baptized recently, and they reflect on what it means to witness God's movement in the lives of those you love. They also dig into the deeper meaning of “hardening of the heart,” why one Bible verse is the most cross-referenced of all time, and how God's design throughout Scripture points to a single, unifying presence. “Unashamed” Episode 1081 is sponsored by: https://vom.org/unashamed — Request your free copy of When Faith is Forbidden today by visiting the website or by calling 844-463-4059. https://puretalk.com/unashamed — Get 50% off your first month when you make the switch! https://fieldofgreens.com — Get 20% off your first order to get started today! https://myphdweightloss.com — Find out how Al is finally losing weight!

In this sermon, Pastor Matt delves into Colossians 3:12-17, exploring how believers should "put on" their new identity in Christ. He begins by reminding the congregation of their status as God's chosen, holy, and beloved people, emphasizing that this identity should shape their behavior. The pastor then unpacks a list of Christ-like qualities that believers should embody, including compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, and forgiveness. He particularly focuses on forgiveness, clarifying misconceptions and stressing its importance in the Christian life. Pastor Matt concludes by highlighting three priorities for believers: letting the peace of Christ rule in their hearts, allowing God's Word to dwell richly within them, and doing everything in the name of Jesus with thankfulness. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Matt uses practical examples and scripture references to illustrate his points, encouraging believers to align their daily lives with their new identity in Christ. He emphasizes that this transformation is both instantaneous and ongoing, urging the congregation to continually grow in these Christ-like characteristics.

  n this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony explore Colossians 2:11-15, a passage rich with theological truth about our spiritual transformation in Christ. The discussion begins by examining the concept of spiritual circumcision, not performed by human hands, but accomplished by Christ Himself. This circumcision represents the cutting away of our sinful nature, symbolizing the inward renewal that comes through faith in Jesus. The hosts emphasize how this spiritual reality is tied to the Old Testament covenant sign of circumcision, demonstrating its fulfillment in Christ. The conversation moves into the significance of being buried and raised with Christ through baptism. Jesse and Tony unpack how baptism mirrors our union with Christ in His death and resurrection. They highlight how our record of debt, symbolizing the guilt and penalty of sin, has been canceled and nailed to the cross. This powerful imagery reminds listeners of the sufficiency of Christ's work on their behalf and the assurance of forgiveness and new life in Him. Finally, the brothers reflect on the triumph of Christ over sin, death, and the rulers and authorities that stood opposed to Him. They discuss the implications of being made alive in Christ, not only for our future hope of bodily resurrection but for our present reality as those who are spiritually raised and seated with Him in the heavenly places. This episode challenges listeners to rest in the sufficiency of Christ and to reject any theology that adds to His completed work. Key Points: Spiritual Circumcision in Christ: Jesus performs a circumcision not made with human hands, cutting off our sinful nature and bringing about inward renewal. Buried and Raised with Christ: Baptism symbolizes our union with Christ in His death and resurrection, demonstrating our forgiveness and new life through His work. Canceling the Record of Debt: The guilt and penalty of sin are removed as Christ nails the record of our debt to the cross, securing our justification. Triumph Over Sin and Death: Christ disarms rulers and authorities, demonstrating His victory over all powers that stood against Him and His people. Union with Christ: Believers are spiritually raised with Christ and seated with Him in the heavenly places, reflecting a present and eternal reality. Questions for Reflection: How does the concept of spiritual circumcision deepen your understanding of God's work in your life? In what ways does baptism symbolize your union with Christ in His death and resurrection? What does the phrase “canceling the record of debt” mean to you, and how does it influence your view of forgiveness? How does Christ's triumph over rulers and authorities encourage you in your daily walk of faith? What does it mean to you that you are already spiritually raised and seated with Christ in the heavenly places?

In this sermon, Pastor Matt delves into Colossians 3, transitioning from doctrinal teaching to practical Christian living. He emphasizes that right beliefs should lead to right behavior, focusing on seeking "the things that are above, where Christ is" (Col. 3:1). The pastor explains that this heavenly focus should produce an earthly difference in believers' lives. Pastor Matt outlines two lists of sins that Christians must "put to death" (Col. 3:5) or "put away" (Col. 3:8): personal sins like sexual immorality and covetousness and social sins like anger and slander. He stresses that these practices belong to the old self, which has been replaced by the new self in Christ. The sermon concludes with practical steps for living out this new identity, including starving sinful appetites, focusing on God's Word, seeking the Holy Spirit's help, and learning contentment.
