When we are baptized, we are a part of a bigger picture happening, a story that started long ago and echos until today. Transformation is occurring, the Holy Spirit is at work and new life is springing forth as the old is washed away. Today we rejoice with all of heaven as we celebrate the precious souls who were baptized in Jesus’s name.

Lord, tune our eyes and ears to hear your voice and see your beauty as we go about our day. We bring our honest self to you, trusting that you know us and know what we need.

In a process of listening prayer, perhaps ask God “is there anything that is holding me back from the fullness that you have for me?” Then quiet yourself to see what impression comes to you.

We want to know Jesus. We want to see new life — in us, in our friends, and in people who have never known faith or have been hurt by the church. We are after a community of welcome and laughter, of faith and hope and love, of friends and family, justice and changed lives. We can’t change your life, but we know who can.

We want to be a people where the homeless know they can find food, the broken can find healing, and the rejected feel at home. Where one group is showing up for those caught in addiction and another is training teachers on the other side of the world. Small things. Ordinary people. Extraordinary love.

We know no church lives up to this all the time — including us. But we refuse to give up. He is the Vine; we are the Branches.

A wild prophet stands in the Jordan and points: “Behold, the Lamb of God.”

Why would he call a man a lamb? Didn’t the people want a “lion”? A king to conquer?

This sermon traces Water → Lamb → New Exodus - how Jesus carries the weight of the world, transforms it, and leads us into a new kind of freedom.

Taken from the message “Behold the Lamb of God - The Gospel of John Series: Week” (April 28, 2026). Watch the full message > link in bio.
