Why the Church Baptizes

The church has practiced water baptism since its earliest days, but why? Here are six reasons.

Freed From Guilt and Shame

September 1, 2024 • Rev. Andy Davis • Romans 8:1–2, Psalm 32:1–5, Matthew 26:26–29, John 8:36

Baptism moves our attention to the meaning of spiritual life. One of the wonderful benefits received from Jesus through the forgiveness He offers is freedom from guilt and shame. This freedom changes the way we live day in and day out with Jesus.

Handling Disagreements in the Church

March 10, 2024 • Rev. Andy Davis • Romans 14:1–12, Romans 14:16–19, Colossians 3:12–15, 1 Corinthians 10:29–33

How do we treat others who disagree with us? Paul teaches us how life in the church is supposed to work and gives practical advice on how-to live-in peace.

It is Good to Give Thanks

November 19, 2023 • Rev. Andy Davis • Psalm 92:1–4, James 1:16–17, Psalm 73:28

An important Christian life principle is that giving thanks to God benefits us in ways that are good. Being thankful affects much more than our prayer life.
