Baptism is a sign and means of receiving the Holy Spirit, whose primary role is to set us apart for God's presence, his service, and his glory.
Baptism is a conscious and deliberate act by which the Christian is incorporated into the faith community.
When we are baptized we align our lives with the good news of God’s coming kingdom and recognize that power in his kingdom is expressed as submission and service.
The resurrection of Jesus is not just about the past. It is about the present — our present. And it is about the future — our future.
Jesus reveals a God who relentlessly comes after our restless hearts. And the climax of God’s pursuit is the cross.
