Baptism Service

Last night we held our church baptism service on the beautiful shores of Wrightsville Beach. I think that of all the Christian activities that we do, witnessing a baptism is my favorite. I love to see people make a public profession of their new life as a believer.

Luke 3:3
John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they had turned from their sins and turned to God to be forgiven.
NLT

Holding the service at the beach provides a stage for the world to see. I noticed many people who were not part of our church standing and watching and many began asking questions after the service. I think the world is still interested in Jesus. When we live out our walk with the Lord in front of the world in humility, people will stop and take notice.

You don’t have to get all wet to be a great witness. Ask God to baptize you with His power and start living in a way that others might stop and ask about your enthusiasm for God.
