    Baptism Like A Wedding Ring

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021

     | 6,509 views

    This sermon was prepared to help the baptism candidates understand the meaning of baptism and why baptism is necessary. I prepared for the youth group, but it would apply to adults as well.

    Baptism like a wedding ring (at Youth Gathering) Baptism like a wedding ring: Just as a wedding ring symbolizes your marriage, Baptism symbolizes your identification with Jesus. Just as a wedding ring itself doesn't make you married, Baptism doesn't make you Christian. Just as a wedding ...read more

    This message views the symbol of baptism and looks at it piece by piece, in order to understand what it represents; which, in the end, will provide a fuller picture of how we’re supposed to live our life for Jesus Christ.

    This morning I’m going to be preaching on baptism and have us look at its symbolism; and I want to begin with an illustration. If you have a wedding ring on right now, then take a look at it. “Baptism is like a wedding ring. Both symbolize transactions. A wedding ring symbolizes marriage, just ...read more

    The Meaning Of Baptism Series

    For many people, baptism is shrouded in such great mystery that they fear giving their heart and life to Christ because they don’t want to go through being baptized. This message seeks to clear up some misconceptions.

    Allow me to begin with a cute illustration. “The six-year-old grandson of Ruth Kirby told his mother that he had been baptized. Well, mom knew he hadn’t been formally baptized, so she probed a little further into the matter. She asked him to explain what he meant by ‘baptized.’ Little Blake ...read more

    The Crown That Broke The Curse Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 26, 2026
     | 219 views

    He wore the crown of punishment—to free you from judgment. He wore the crown of pain—to heal your wounds. He wore the crown of persecution—to stand with you in rejection. He wore the crown of suffering and sin—to give you salvation.

    BIG IDEA: Before Jesus wore the crown of glory, He chose the crown of thorns—so the curse on us could be lifted forever.

    Why The Bible Shows The Holy Spirit In Symbols? Series

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jul 7, 2023
     | 1,403 views

    A symbol is like a picture that speaks volumes about things that words cannot describe.

    Sometimes people inadvertently deploy iconic expressions to cut short the necessity of employing so many words in tactful discussions. For example, people often say a picture is worth a thousand words. This expression immediately brings up the image that a picture can reveal more intimate details ...read more

    Jesus' baptism teaches us about the importance of Biblical baptism in the life of a Christ follower.
