Baptisms in Acts

God's Expanding Kingdom

September 30, 2020

You're invited to join us for the next part of our "Understanding Baptism" Bible Study this Wednesday at 6:30pm!

So far we've discussed how water in the Old Testament serves as a foreshadowing of the hope and renewal we experience in baptism, as well as what we can learn from Jesus' own baptism in the Gospels.

This week, our Lead Minister Bryan Fojtasek we'll be leading us in a study of the nine baptism stories in Acts. What we'll see is that these baptisms are part of a larger story that reveals God's longstanding desire to bring all people, from every nation, into the Kingdom of his Son.

Join us live this Wednesday at 6:30, or check back on our website / app after it airs to watch it on demand on your favorite devices.

Why Baptism Is More Important Than We Realize

October 14, 2020

After wrapping up our study on baptism, we still had a few questions come in that we wanted to address before moving on to our next topic. In this class, Bryan explores the Biblical connections between baptism, the Holy Spirit, and the blessings we receive from God. As we begin to understand how these concepts are intertwined, we'll discover that baptism is more important than we often realize! During this class, we'll also take a look at what the Bible says about the mode of baptism (immersion, sprinkling, or something else) as well as what it says about when we receive the Holy Spirit.

This excerpt is part of the class from October 21st. In this talk, Bryan explores three main reasons why immersion should be considered the best practice, even though the Bible doesn't contain any explicit commands about the exact form baptism should take.

When Do We Receive the Holy Spirit?

Bryan shares a few thoughts about the connection between baptism and the gift of the Holy Spirit, based largely on four examples from the book of Acts. This talk is a short excerpt from the full-length class from October 21st.
