A Baptism Worth Talking About

Changes that Flip the World Upside Down

The gospel was never meant to be outsourced to a few voices behind a pulpit. It's people who met Jesus telling others where to find Him. In Matthew 5, Jesus called believers "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world." Not just those with bold personalities. Not just preachers. Every believer. It's not our responsibility to make the seed grow - that's the Lord's doing. But we can't dismiss the power of God by assuming someone won't listen before we ever speak. Nothing changes if nothing changes. So take a step today. Start the conversation. Plant the seed. God handles the increase.

Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes

We talk about wanting stronger homes, healthier churches, deeper faith and more meaningful lives in Christ. But growth doesn't happen accidently. Jesus Christ does not change - but those who follow Him are called to. Daily. Quietly. Continually. Real transformation begins inwardly. We can't wait for circumstances, other people, or the world around us to change. This episode is about growth, conviction, becoming more like Jesus every day -- because: Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes.

The Announcement

Today's episode is a special one. We're announcing something we've been very prayerful about. Full-Time Christians Podcast is entering a new season - a journey, an adventure focused on evangelism, teaching, encouraging, and serving wherever opportunities arise. Over time, we've seen a deep need for laborers and support among many faithful congregations throughout the country. Because of that, we've decided to begin full-time travel work with the goal of preaching, teaching, strengthening Christians and helping however we can. We'd love for you to join us on this journey and pray for us along the way!

Seeking a Quiet Life

"...aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs.." 1 Thessalonians 4:11 Scripture calls Christians away from noice, distraction and constant commentary on others' lives. We don't have to know everything. We don't have to respond to everything. We don't have to carry what isn't ours. A quiet life is steady. Unfearful. At peace. And part of that peace comes from simply being faithful in what God has actually given us to do.

A Baptism Worth Talking About

With so many opinions and noise surrounding the topic of Baptism, we wanted to have a conversation that focused only on what the Lord has to say concerning the importance and necessity of being baptized.Scriptures for your study: For the forgiveness of sins: Acts 2:38.        For washing away sins: Acts 22:16. For salvation: Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21. Union with Christ’s death and resurrection: Romans 6:3-5. For putting away the body of sins: Colossians 2:11-13 For entering Christ: 1 Corinthians 12:13. To be clothed with Christ: Galatians 3:27. A challenge for you: Consider the example in the book of Acts of believers in the First Century and how they responded to the teaching of the necessity of baptism from the Apostles: Acts 2:38-41, Acts 8:27-39, Acts 16:27-33, Acts 22:16.
