Baptism Sunday: Promise of a New Beginning | Phil EuBank

When an individual decides to follow Jesus, their life experiences a tangible transformation over time, and this shift is marked by a distinctive trait that has endured throughout the history of the church. Traditionally, entire families would be baptized to signify God's redeeming work in their salvation, and newly converted individuals would follow suit by getting baptized. In contemporary times, baptism serves as a reminder of our rebirth in Him, not as a sign of spiritual maturity but rather as an assurance of our eternal security. It is an outward expression of an internal reality.

Next week, we launch a brand-new series called Seasons where we will unpack the reality that God is with us through EVERY season - times of great joy AND deep sorrow. If you wrestle with anxiety, depression, or are in need of peace and joy, this series will help you experience God in whatever season you’re in. Go to http://menlo.church/seasons where we have additional study guides and spiritual formation practice resources to help you do life with Jesus throughout the week, not just on Sundays.

In His last few breaths on the cross, Jesus had one final word that began something entirely new. The story of all of human history led to the fulfillment of this life perfectly lived and now perfectly finished. What needs to begin in our lives in light of what finished in His?
