This sermon explores our adoption into God's family through faith, the importance of community, and the unifying power of the Holy Spirit.
Welcome, dear friends. There's a warmth in the air today, a sense of belonging and unity that binds us together as we gather in this sacred space. It's a warmth that transcends the physical, reaching into the very depths of our souls, reminding us of the profound love that our Savior, Jesus Christ, has for each and every one of us. As we stand here today, we are reminded of the powerful words of the esteemed Christian author, J.I. Packer, who once said, "Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers."
The act of baptism is a moment where we publicly declare our faith in Christ and our commitment to follow Him. It is a moment of surrender, where we die to our old selves and are reborn as new creations in Christ. It is a moment of grace, where we are washed clean of our sins and are clothed in the righteousness of Christ. But more than that, baptism is a moment of bonding. It is a moment where we are united with Christ and with each other, forming a bond that is as unbreakable as it is eternal.
This bond is not a physical one, but a spiritual one. It is a bond that transcends time and space, connecting us with believers from all walks of life, from every corner of the globe, and from every generation. It is forged in the waters of baptism and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
Building a community in love is a central theme in the teachings of Jesus ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
