    Baptism 2015

    Baptism. Why do we observe the sacrament of believer baptism instead of infant baptism? Why do we celebrate the dedication of a child to God instead of baptizing them right then and there? We will attempt to answer these questions in this sermon.

    This message looks at the prerequisite, the purpose, the plan, and a picture of biblical baptism. Good message to preach at a full immersion baptism.

    BIBICAL BAPTISM Acts 8:26-40 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of ...read more

    Meeting Jesus in the waters of baptism.

    THE BAPTISM OF JESUS. Matthew 3:13-17. The baptism administered by John was with a view to the repentance of sins. So, immediately, we are challenged with the thought: why did Jesus make the journey from Galilee to Jordan to be baptised by John (Matthew 3:13)? After all, as John would argue ...read more

    Understanding Baptism

    There's a lot of confusion in the religious world regarding baptism. In this lesson, we'll survey the NT teaching on the ancient practice and learn the why's behind doing it.

    The words of Ananias in Acts 22:16 are simple to understand. There’s nothing complicated about them. Nothing complex or ambiguous; “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” And yet the religious world of today, ...read more

    A brief background about John the Baptizer, who was Mark, and why would Jesus have to be Baptized? This was preached on a Sunday morning when an adult Baptism was performed.

    The Baptism of Jesus This morning, we’ll begin taking a walk through the Gospel of Mark. It seems to me it’s probably a good idea to know a little about Mark as we begin this journey. And after we come to know a little more about Mark, we’ll look at what happened one day in a river long ago and ...read more

    It all started in a small 2nd story room in Jerusalem on the Jewish feast of Pentecost. “They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues.” In those few words, we find the unique emphasis of our church.

    The Empowering Experience of the Spirit Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, writes; “mention the power of the Holy Spirit and most people think of miraculous demonstrations and intense emotions. Most of the time the power of the Holy Spirit is released in your life in quiet, unassuming ...read more

    The Gift Of Baptism

    This message unpacks some of the statements made about baptism and leads the believer, hopefully, to make a clear decision about their own theology of baptism. This message preceded a full immersion, believers' baptism.

    The Gift of Baptism Scripture: Acts 8:26-40 We’re going to consider several passages of scripture today, but this one is the key passage for what I think is the main consideration for today - at least it was for me this week. Today is Baptism Sunday. It’s a very special day in the ...read more

    An exposition of the doctrine and practice of infant baptism.

    Introduction We’ve come to the second of the two-part sermons on baptism. I trust that most everyone who heard last Sunday’s message on the meaning of baptism would not have had difficulty with what they heard. Baptism is a sign and seal of the gospel. The four primary elements of the ...read more

    The Bible makes few mandates for baptism, but what it does demand makes it beautiful.

    Intro In Matthew 3 we are introduced to the Baptism of Christ. This ceremony which has become the norm for almost all Christian churches is also the subject of some division and much misunderstanding. Goal To help us appreciate baptism and its significance. Plan We will look at what is and ...read more

    Salvation And Baptism

    Contributed by Grant Adams on May 22, 2021
     | 1,845 views

    If there were two main doctrines in the Bible, I feel they would be salvation and baptism. The reason being the bible says until a lost person is saved, he is nothing to God, and until a saved person is baptized, he cannot be obedient in any other spiritual area.

    We don’t need to be divided over the topic of baptism. Biblically, there is room for our preferences without disunity, if we ask simple questions. What does the Bible really require? What does the Bible leave up to us?

    The Importance Of Baptism

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 30, 2021
     | 3,884 views

    The Bible is also very plain that you do not have to be baptized in order to be saved. Water doesn't save anyone regardless of whether it is a spoon full or a tank full. The only liquid in the Bible that saves is the Blood of Jesus Christ.

    Jesus had a ministry that lasted a little more than three years. Of all the things He could have started His ministry with and ended His ministry with, He started it by being baptized and concluded it by commanding the church to make disciples and baptize others. Now, since baptism was the bookends ...read more
