Water For Your Soul:
The Baptismal Plunge with Christ

 

 

Water is the gift of life. The water of our mother’s womb gave us birth; our spiritual life began in the water of the baptismal font. As Christians we believe that water is the marvelous creation of God, and that the specific water of baptism joins us to Jesus Christ, who reveals to us the heart of God.

 

The Baptismal Plunge with Christ who…

"On The Vine"

 

 

FEBRUARY 21 • ROMANS 11:13-24
Grafted: Faith and Faithfulness
How do you turn a wild olive tree into one that bears fruit? We are grafted into the historic, cultivated root of God’s first people in order that we would bear fruit for God’s kingdom.

 

FEBRUARY 28 • LUKE 3:7-9; 21-22
Rooted: Baptism and Beginnings
At the baptism of Jesus, his public ministry begins. He is the root, the one into whom we are grafted in our own baptism.

 

MARCH 7 • LUKE 9:1-6
Nourished: Miracles and Ministry
Jesus gives power and authority to his followers to teach and heal. This is our call as well, as we grow in Christ who is the true vine. It is the vine that nourishes us.

 

MARCH 14 • LUKE 12:4-12
Growing: Conversations and Controversies
This is not going to be easy! Jesus’ disciples are discovering that Jesus’ ministry is controversial and causes division. This is the essential growing point for every disciple: “will you acknowledge me” before one another? True growth almost always includes pain; growing pains.

 

 

Our call is to live into our faith
and bear fruit. Not because we
have to, but because we get to.
There is nothing more beautiful
than people who bear fruit
because they can. They have seen
and responded to God’s goodness.
They have connected down deep
to the holy root of God’s story,
and have exploded with fruit.
Our world is in desperate need
of people who are desperate to bear
fruit, desperate to share the gospel,
desperate for the kingdom of God.
We are these people. We have been
grafted in. Let us bear fruit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MARCH 21 • LUKE 14:25-33
Stewards: Teaching and Trusting
Before you start something, you need to count the cost of contemplating the project. In this vineyard, we are called to steward God’s gifts as part of living out discipleship.

 

MARCH 28 • LUKE 23:44-48
Pressed: Destruction and Death
The events of Holy Week press Jesus through political expediency and religious fear. The solution to their problem is the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. To his followers, they felt as if their movement had ended. It was, however, just the beginning.
