Why should you be baptized? Because our Lord and Savior invites us. It is a Christ-imitating, Christ-affirming, Christ-commanded invitation. The Spirit and the bride say "Come."
The sermon today is titled "Come To The Water." It is the first installment in our series "Washed Anew: The Power & Promise of Baptism." The Scripture reading is from 2 Kings 5:1-14 & Matthew 3:13-17 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on Sunday, April 14, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under BEGIN: A Joyful Response.
