Baptism Sunday - April 14th

If you've invited Jesus into your life, congratulations!

You've embarked on a transformative journey, and baptism is the perfect next step to publicly declare your commitment to Him. Here are four essential things you need to know about baptism:

1. **Baptism is about going public:** Just like wearing a jersey to a football game, baptism is our way of identifying with Jesus and His team. When we take this step, we're boldly proclaiming to the world that we belong to Jesus and are on His side. There's no such thing as a private faith, and baptism gives us the chance to go public for Him.

2. **Baptism is about being obedient:** Jesus instructed His followers to baptize new believers as a sign of their commitment (Matthew 28:19). It's the first thing He tells us to do after salvation. If you've asked Jesus into your life but haven't been baptized, this is your next step of obedience.

3. **Baptism comes after salvation:** In the early church, baptism followed salvation as a public proclamation of faith (Acts 2:38). It symbolizes the spiritual transformation that occurs when we commit to following Jesus.

4. **Baptism is a powerful reminder:** Through baptism, we vividly remember how Jesus saved us. Going under the water signifies dying to our old selves, while rising out of the water represents new life in Christ. It's a beautiful symbol of our faith journey and an opportunity to share Jesus' story with others.

Every baptism is a celebration of Jesus' victory over sin and death. Whether you've recently accepted Jesus into your life or have been walking with Him for years but haven't been baptized, now is the perfect time to take this important step.
