Baptism

Baptism is all about God's grace and what God has done for us.

In baptism, God claims us as his own and we are cleansed from the guilt of the sin condition into which we have been born.

For more in depth explanation of Baptism, check out:

By Water and The Spirit

Risk-Taking Service

Rennie Curran has a great story.
watch this video and then read the quote:



quote from an interview Rennie Curran gave to writer David Hale:

“Just having the younger guys, I think that’s really what opened my eyes to the whole leadership thing is having the younger guys come in who were confused at times and would look to me and reach out to me for help. I was able to do that because of the experience that I had and that really just helped me in terms of developing that leadership. You can’t be a leader without being a servant and being able to help your teammates and just really bring up the ability of the guys around you, raise that attitude and set the tempo.”

it is the same in the Kingdom of God: taking the lead means serving everyone else first.
when the church does this in ways that are sometimes uncomfortable or risky, that is usually when God shows up.
