ALL IN - what is water baptism?
On Sunday, June 1st, Pastor Cal Revell shared a powerful message on Water Baptism, drawing from Matthew 28:18–19 and marking our special Baptism Sunday. His message focused on helping us understand why some people choose not to get baptised. Pastor Cal highlighted three key reasons: 1. Lack of awareness – Many simply haven't been taught about the significance of baptism. 2. Church traditions – Sometimes, longstanding practices or other customs can keep us from baptism 3. Pride – This can be a subtle but strong barrier that keeps us from responding in obedience to Jesus' call to be baptised. Through his message, Pastor Cal reminded us that baptism is not just a symbolic act, but a personal and public step of obedience to Jesus. We pray that this message blesses you, encourages you and ultimately draws you closer to our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Sunday, May 25, 2025 – Today, we delve into Fundamental 6 of the AG 16 Fundamental Truths we uphold, which is “The Ordinances of the Church: Water Baptism and Holy Communion.” Both ordinances should take place after an individual experiences Salvation through faith in Christ, along with repentance and forgiveness, as discussed last week in the 5th Fundamental Truth – The Salvation of Man. These practices are direct commands from Christ, and by observing them, we obediently follow in His footsteps. They serve as public affirmations of our faith in the grace and mercy of Jesus, celebrating our relationship with Him. Water Baptism mirrors Jesus' death and resurrection; we are immersed in water and then raised up, symbolizing our death to self and new life in Christ. Our sins are washed away as the water flows off us, making us new creations in Him, free from condemnation. Holy Communion involves eating and drinking the body and blood of Jesus, as He guided His disciples during the Last Supper. As we partake of the bread or cracker and drink the juice, we reflect on Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and eagerly anticipate Him serving us at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in Heaven, which will take place very soon. Come join us in worship and study.

Baptism is more than just a symbolic act—it's a powerful declaration of faith, obedience, and transformation. In this special Water Baptism Service, we explore the biblical significance of baptism and why it is an essential step in a believer's journey with Jesus. Through Scripture, we see that baptism is an outward expression of an inward transformation, representing our old life being buried with Christ and our new life being raised in Him. This message will encourage you to step boldly into the calling God has for you, walking in full surrender and the power of the Holy Spirit. If you're searching for a church that prioritizes Jesus, authentic community, and life-changing encounters with God, we invite you to join us! Questions this sermon answers: 1. Why is baptism an important step in the life of a believer? 2. What does the Bible say happens spiritually when we are baptized? 3. How does baptism strengthen our faith and commitment to Jesus? From Chapel Valley Church in Madison, WI.
We take a break from our study of The Gospel of Matthew and look at Water Baptism and its significance. Its an important command in a Christians walk with the Lord. Join us Sundays at 8:30 and 10:30am!

Can we be saved without water baptism? If I don't have to ask for forgiveness each time, then what should I do when I sin? Why did Jesus say, “My time has not yet come”? What are your thoughts on the song, “Better Than a Hallelujah”? Is it sacrilegious?
