BAPTISM
Baptism is not some optional ritual, to be delayed or postponed. It signifies your inclusion in God’s family. It publicly announces to the world, “I am not ashamed to be a part of God’s family.” Jesus commanded this beautiful act for all in his family:

Why is baptism so important? Because it symbolizes one of the purposes of your life: incorporation into the fellowship of God’s eternal family.

Baptism declares your faith, shares Christ’s burial and resurrection, symbolizes your death to your old life, and announces your new life in Christ. It is also a celebration of your inclusion in God’s family.

Your baptism is a physical picture of a spiritual truth. It represents what happened the moment God brought you into his family. Baptism doesn’t make you a member of God’s family; only faith in Christ does that. Baptism shows you are part of God’s family. Like a wedding ring, it is a visible reminder of an inward commitment made in your heart. It is an act of initiation, not something you put off until you are spiritually mature. The only biblical condition is that you believe. Because Jesus makes you holy, God is proud of you. Being included in God’s family is the highest honor, the greatest privilege you and I will ever receive. Nothing else comes close.

A Study of the Life of Simon Peter
A Study of the Life of Simon Peter
With a chisel, a plan, and a lot of patience, the Master Artist transforms a chunk of rock into a masterpiece. Yet this particular work of art is not on display in the finest museum but in the pages of God’s Word. There we see God take the brash and impulsive Simon Peter and turn him into the man, the leader, God always intended him to be. We can learn a lot from Peter’s life as we look at how he was:

There we see God take the brash and impulsive Simon Peter and turn him into the man, the leader, God always intended him to be. We can learn a lot from Peter’s life as we look at how he was:
- Called to Follow
- Willing to Risk
- Challenged to Grow
- Motivated to Serve
- Allowed to Fail
- Restored to Lead
In God’s hands, anyone can become a masterpiece. His work in Peter’s life shows how He can work in our lives, too, to lovingly shape and sculpt us into the likeness of His Son, living masterpieces that will forever reflect the beauty and glory of the Artist Himself.
