This coming Sunday, January 11, 2026, we recognize the atoning sacrifice of Jesus through the sacrament of Holy Communion.
There appears to be some confusion surrounding baptism, stemming from various misconceptions. Some hold that baptism is a physical act that represents spiritual grace and guarantees the immediate presence of the Holy Spirit. Some believe that baptism is a symbol of salvation, however, Scripture does not teach that baptism is a saving event, only that it marks the beginning of our journey. I’m here to say that baptism is a sign of the gospel, meaning that it is given to us; we never do it. Baptism points us to what Christ has done, and it is Christ who provides us with the sign. It is not so much a message about our faith, but a sign that calls us to live by faith.
