Water baptism services are joyful and this one was electrifying! Just before the baptisms took place Pastor Scott spoke a very brief message on the most important things a Christian needs to hear before setting out on the long journey of walking with Christ. The anchor verses are from 2 Timothy 2:1-7 but a wide array of exhortations were given regarding identity, purpose, hardship, entanglement with the world, focus on Jesus, knowing God’s will, hating sin, diligence, boldness, the importance of the local church, perseverance, infilling of the Spirit, remembering the cross and knowing God’s love. The message is relevant to anyone who wants to live a fruitful Christian life in an ever-increasing way till the end.
