Listen "By Water and the Spirit - Pastor Jarrod - Bartlett Campus"
Episode Synopsis
Today, we dive into the powerful symbolism of baptism and its profound significance in our spiritual journey. The scripture from Acts 8 and Luke 3 reminds us of Jesus' own baptism and the descent of the Holy Spirit. This beautiful moment isn't just a historical event; it's a call for us to remember our own baptisms and the transformative power they hold. We're challenged to consider: How are we living out our baptismal vows? Are we allowing the Holy Spirit to work in and through us? The message emphasizes that baptism isn't a ticket to heaven, but rather an outward sign of God's inward grace. It's a celebration of our adoption into God's family - a family that, like the Hawaiian concept of 'ohana', leaves no one behind. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can embody this inclusive love in our own lives and communities.
