Everyone has questions. Some questions we can find the answer with a quick search on Google. Other questions are more intimidating. Questions that surround our faith can be scary because we worry about what the answer might be and whether or not those answer will affect our faith. What ends up happening is that we ignore the question, but that question still lingers in the back of our mind.

In Asking for a Friend we want to look at a few of these questions and see if there is a way to provide an answer to them that will not only strengthen our faith, but also help us see the world through a more Christian perspective.

Christians from every faith tradition believe that baptism is important. Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20 taught that baptism is crucial to disciple making and therefore if we are going to be disciples of Jesus we need to be baptize. Even if we don’t understand the reason for baptism, simply being baptized out of obedience to Jesus is good enough. But baptism is a gift God has given us to give us confidence in our relationship with Him. Understanding this purpose is a great benefit as we follow Jesus.

Text: Acts 2:36-42

Big Idea: Baptism provides us with an opportunity to declare that we are all in with Jesus
