S6E39: The First Step (First Things First pt. 1)

Sermon #149

In the Bible there is not one recorded miracle that Jesus performed prior to his baptism.  Baptism for Jesus marked the beginning of his earthly ministry, and for us as Christians it marks the beginning of our walk with God.  God knows us intimately before we know him - we call this "Prevenient Grace."  So baptism is less about what we do and more about what God does in us.
