Episode Synopsis

When was the last time you actually thought about your baptism and what it means for your life right now?In this Epiphany sermon we reflect on the baptism of Jesus in Matthew chapter 3 and the powerful revelation of his identity as the beloved Son of God. After years of waiting Jesus steps into the Jordan River not for his own sake but for ours. We explore why Jesus was baptized how God’s timing is always purposeful and how baptism becomes a gift of grace that marks us as adopted sons and daughters. This message connects the baptism of Jesus with our own calling identity and empowerment through the Holy Spirit. When faith feels hard we are invited to return to the waters and remember who we are and whose we are.
