This Sunday, we dove deep into the transformative power of baptism and what it means to truly follow Jesus. The central message revolves around going 'all in' with our faith, moving beyond simply asking Jesus to follow us, to wholeheartedly following Him. We're reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew 28:19-20, where He commands us to make disciples and baptize them. Baptism symbolizes a profound spiritual journey - our past sins being washed away, our present reality of new life in Christ, and our future hope in Him. This threefold symbolism parallels how our souls process past, present, and future, offering us freedom from depression and anxiety through the peace of Christ's presence. As we witness these baptisms, we're challenged to reflect on our own commitment and to live with abandon for Jesus, demonstrating our faith not just through hearing and speaking, but through bold action.
