Acts 2:29-41 - "Baptized Into the Reign of Christ" (Ascension Sunday & Baptism)

Ascension Day reminds us that Christ not only rose from the grave, but that having done this, He was exalted to a universal kingship far greater than His grandfather David's. Christ remains seated at the right hand of the Father until all His enemies have been made a footstool. The time between Christ's first coming and His second coming is the age of the conquest and victory of The Great Commission. Christ's most glorious way of subduing His enemies is by making them friends, as He does each time a sinner is converted. Baptism is a picture of this glorious turn of events; of Christ's kingdom being established on earth. Christian, as you leave here this morning, see to it that your efforts this week are consistent with God's will being done on earth as it is in heaven. Leave in Ascension power, Ascension confidence, and Ascension joy.

Romans 6:1-11 - "Baptized Into Christ" (Baptism Sunday)

Baptism is a step of obedience for those that have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. It is a public sign that our allegiances have changed; that we are no longer slaves to sin but belong body and soul to Jesus Christ. In baptism we are confessing that we have died to sin and been made alive to the things of God. As we do this, Christ is also ministering to us, reminding us of what He has done on our behalf. Adoption into God's family and union with Christ are two of the sweetest gifts of grace that God gives. So the charge is to remember your baptism! Reflect on what this all means. Reflect on the sign that God has put on you. You have been baptized into Christ! Let us spur each other on as we pursue this new identity.

Hebrews 5:1-6 - "A Son & Priest Forever"

Our Great High Priest has secured our salvation by being superior in every way. He has been appointed by the Father, chosen from among men to mediate between God and man, and has offered the final gift and sacrifice of His life. We know that He is the Appointed One because the Father vindicated Him by raising Him back to life after receiving His atonement. His perfect and unshakable priesthood secures a perfect and unshakable salvation for those who come to Him in faith. Your security does not rest on the perfection of this faith, but on the perfection of the Priest's sacrifice. So come, and welcome to this Greater Priest. The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind.
