5.7 BAPTISM SUNDAY (water + sacrament) - a podcast by George Stull

This Sunday we were all immersed in God's love, and some by water in baptism. Water is symbolic of our trusting in the “buoyancy of God” to hold our lives upward so God’s life can be lived in us. Water is also sacramental; not just something we do but also something God does in and through the water.


SLIDE GEORGE READ IN OUR GATHERING ABOUT BAPTISM:


It certainly doesn’t mean “Now you’ve got all your Christian understanding together, so we can baptize you.” In the New Testament, baptism often happens very early in somebody’s life, like the Ethiopian eunuch who had been a believer for only five minutes before he was baptized by Philip.


 It takes a lifetime to figure out what your baptism means.  


—N.T. Wright
