Looking for solid ground as the year turns? We walk straight to the source: the gospel, baptism, and the Lord’s Table—two visible signs that rehearse an invisible grace. We start with four clear questions from Romans 1—Who made us, what’s wrong, what’s God’s solution, and how are we included—to show why the cross is not a moral upgrade, but a rescue by a perfect Savior. From there, we connect belief to baptism, not as a finish line but as the public start of discipleship, and we explore why the Lord’s Table is our ongoing nourishment, not a ritual for “good weeks,” but a steady reminder that Christ’s work is finished.
