“Come to me… I will give you rest.”
After Jesus delivers the “Sermon on the Mount,” the disciples assume life will improve now since they are following the Messiah. Judas has joined the group. Simon and his wife are reunited, and everyone is ready to live out His teachings.
But problems emerge. There is increasing pressure from the religious leaders as well as the Romans. And because there are thousands of people who are wanting to find out more about Jesus, the disciples are both confused as well as challenged about what their next steps with Jesus mean.
BEGINNING SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 14th -- Beginning @ 9:30
BIBLE CLASS/SERMON SERIES: “Three Simple Rules”
In Three Simple Rules, Rueben Job offers an interpretation of John Wesley's General Rules for our Christian life today:
(1) “Do No Harm”
(2) “Do Good”
(3) “Stay in Love with God”
Come and be a part of these engaging conversations as we encourage mutual respect, doing good, and growing in a deeper relationship with God.
As we know, Jesus began his formal ministry by being baptized. And since Jesus was baptized, it is good for us to follow His example.
We, as followers of Jesus Christ, affirm that the “action” of baptism is both a divine gift and a human response. And it is the “death” and “resurrection” of Jesus Christ that gives the action of baptism its meaning.
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).
“Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life” (Romans 6:3-4).
“So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ” (Galatians 3:26-27).
If you would like to talk with Pastor Wyatt about preparing for baptism, then just let him know! He would be delighted to visit with you about it!
