Baptism | Sermon

Nov 9, 2025  •  Phil Anderson

Main Texts: Matthew 28:19–20; Romans 6:3–4


Short Summary / Outline

A baptismal celebration exploring what baptism means for believers and how it visibly testifies to the gospel.


1. Symbolizes Our Faith

- What baptism is not: salvation, mere ritual, or church ID【Romans 10:9】.

- What baptism is: an act of obedience and a visual portrayal of new life in Christ【Romans 6:3–4】.

2. Signifies Our Faith (Matthew 28:19)

- The triune basis of salvation: Father (Acts 17:28), Son (Romans 6:23), and Spirit (Romans 8:26).

3. Shows Our Faith (Romans 6:3–4)

- Baptism is the beginning of a public witness and testimony to what God has done in a life.

4. Pastoral application: celebrate baptisms, encourage new believers to live in the reality of their union with Christ, and invite the church to support and witness these testimonies.
