You Can Find Light in Christ

Pastor Mike sets the stage for a baptism service, explaining the symbolism behind baptism. They emphasize that baptism is an outward symbol of an inner transformation already accomplished by God, represented by going under water (likeness of Jesus' death) and coming out (likeness of His resurrection). Mike references Romans chapter six and the Great Commission as the foundations for the act of baptism and mission of making disciples. The message also addresses ongoing pastoral succession in the church, emphasizing a belief in small, personal discipleship as key to church growth. He encourages the congregation to see God's work in each testimony and to join in celebrating these transformative stories.
