“A Mark in the Sand” – A Baptismal Sermon

What is baptism?  Doesn’t it seem a little strange that we dunk people in water when they become saved?  I think some of the weirdness comes from the confusion that surrounds baptism.  Some baptize infants, while others baptize only those who have made a confession of faith.  Some baptize by immersion, others by pouring, and still others by sprinkling.  Some people say that baptism is part of salvation, others say that it is a symbol.  Join us as we discuss what baptism is, why it is a beautiful event in the life of a believer, and prepare for the baptism of five souls.     Sermon originally preached on August 21, 2011.
