"Baptism Connects" - Rev. Dr. Robert Weise (Romans 6:1-11)

Today we celebrate our first baptism at OSSH. What is baptism? Martin Luther writes, “Baptism is not just plain water, but it is the water included in God’s command and combined with God’s word.” This baptism “works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare.”
