Out of the Water, Into the World

Baptism is more than a moment. It is a calling.Pastor Craig explore's the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River and what it reveals about our own identity and mission. Drawing on biblical imagery, modern scenes from the Jordan, and the realities of our world today, we discover that baptism is both a gift of grace and a dangerous commitment.Jesus does not come out of the water and head for comfort. He walks straight into hunger, temptation, injustice, and need. And when we are baptized, we are marked the same way—not just as beloved, but as sent.You are invited to follow Jesus out of the water and into the world, where faith becomes courage, love becomes action, and grace takes on flesh.
