Matthew 28:18-20Jesus commanded us to make disciples and baptize them publicly. Why public? Because your faith is meant to be visible. Baptism is where your internal transformation becomes an external declaration. It's your moment to say before witnesses, "I belong to Jesus. I'm all in." But the visibility doesn't end at the water's edge. Every day, you're called to live out your baptism—to make y...

Ephesians 2:8-9 You didn't earn your salvation, and you cannot lose it through performance. Baptism shows that Jesus has already saved you—it doesn't save you. This is liberating truth. Your identity is no longer rooted in what you do but in what Christ has done. You are clothed in His righteousness, not your own efforts. When you stepped out of the baptismal waters, you were wrapped in a towel re...

Romans 6:3-5Baptism is not just a religious ritual—it's a powerful declaration of transformation. When you went under the water, you symbolically died to your old self. When you came up, you rose to new life in Christ. But here's the critical question: Are you living in that resurrection power today? Your baptism wasn't a landing point; it was a launching pad. The same power that raised Jesus from...

The central theme revolves around Paul's 'thorn in the flesh' and God's response to his pleas for relief.

This Week
This week, we're challenged to confront the 'comparison trap' that so often ensnares us. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 11, we explore how our culture's obsession with outward success and image conflicts with the true strength found in Christ. The Apostle Paul's 'real resume' of hardships and sufferings serves as a stark contrast to the world's definition of success. We're reminded that God's power shines brightest through our weaknesses and scars, not our spotlights and achievements. This paradox of strength in weakness is at the heart of the Gospel, exemplified by Christ's victory through the cross. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to embrace authenticity, surrender our struggles to God, and find our true identity in Him rather than in comparison to others.
