Christian life can sometimes confuse us. We hear that we are beloved daughters and sons of God, but we also hear that we are supposed to behave well. That means sometimes when we haven't behaved well, we can wonder if we really are loved. In today's sermon on Jesus' baptism, Fr. Stephen explains how this tells us something important about our own baptism. We are fully loved because we are fully part of God's family. Yet, just as a parent trains a child to grow into maturity, God's direction trains us to show the world what God is like. Tune in to learn more.
Scripture Reference: Matthew 3:13-17
Preached on the Baptism of the Lord, January 12, 2020 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
Sermon Highlights
- Jesus' baptism is affirmation and commissioning
- Our baptism affirms us as adopted children
- Our baptism gives us a mission
- We follow Jesus' mission in our own context
- Jesus' mission was to comfort the hurting and bring light to darkness
- This is our mission too
