    The second sermon in a series on Mark. This message focuses upon the reasons for Christ’s baptism and the Triune nature of it. It stresses the unique nature of Jesus to His Father, and shows how we too may have the Father’s pleasure.

Most baptisms I have completely forgotten the details of, but a few stick ...read more

    In our baptismal covenant, we commit to belief in God, participating in the Church's life, resisting evil, sharing the Gospel, and ultimately doing all of this out of love.
