THE POWER OF PRESENCE 2026 01 11

from Helotes Hills United Methodist Church · host Helotes Hills United Methodist

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 3:13–17 and the baptism of Jesus. As Jesus steps into the water, we glimpse a moment where heaven and earth draw close and God’s voice speaks belovedness. This sermon invites us to remember our baptism, to trust God’s faithfulness even when we wander, and to listen again for the promise that still claims us.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Isaiah 42:1-9, Isaiah 42:1-9, and Matthew 3:13-17“DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE” -- CCLI Song # 7211349  |  Stacey V.
