Baptisms

The service videos here contain baptisms. We typically conduct baptisms toward the end of our services. These videos are whole services so you may need to scroll through the video to get to the baptisms.

The world around us is constantly trying to influence and control our thinking. The temptations come in all different directions. We can slowly, or quickly, fade into compromising our faith. This is not a new phenomenon either. The Old Testament is filled with the people of God adapting and adopting the world’s values and falling away from the Lord. We come to a church in Pergamum that was doing some things well. Jesus also comes to them to correct and warn them that they are fading in compromise. They were allowing the world to influence them instead of influencing the world around them. They were also believing dangerous and destructive false teaching that was causing them to stumble into sin. Jesus comes to help, encourage, heal, rebuke, correct and protect His people. The Lord cares deeply about us and has the double edged sword to convict and heal us. There is so much at stake and the words that the Lord speaks to Pergamum can literally save and protect our lives, marriages, family and future. We need to pay careful attention.

Our journey through the book of 1 John ends this morning. This our 18th week in it and the Lord has taught us so many things. There are certain things that the Lord wants us to know without a shadow of a doubt. One of those things is our salvation. We do not have to guess if God is our Father. We do not have to be confused if we are going to heaven. We do not have to lack assurance about our standing with the Lord. John tells us why he wrote his book in 1 John 5:13, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” We can KNOW that we have eternal life in Jesus. When we know that, it changes how we live and what we are living for.

He is risen, He is risen indeed! Easter is the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. He is really alive and we will live through Him. What looked like defeat was part of God’s plan for victory. It was through Jesus’ death that death was defeated because Christ rose! Jesus’ victory becomes our victory when we believe in Him. This morning we are celebrating the cornerstone of Christianity, which is a historical fact. Everything hinges on the resurrection. Sometimes, we have our questions and doubts about what happened. One of Jesus’ closest disciples, Thomas, expressed great skepticism and doubt as well to Jesus rising from the dead. This Easter, we are going to see the truth, eternal significance, power and hope that the resurrection of Jesus produces. We are going to walk through John 20 and “doubting Thomas’” story to see how he moved from a hardened skeptic to one of the most influential followers of Christ.
