The beach baptism was a great time. It was exciting for everyone who was there. The water was blueish, greenish, brownish, the sun yellowish, the sand beigeish and the people at the end of the day were redish, brownish. The atmosphere was joyish. Those being baptized were pumedish. Thanks to all who helped with "Student Ministry Hits The Beach" and the baptism.
Sunrise Community Church was started seven years ago in order to help people accept Christ, grow in their relatiosnhip with Christ and begin to serve Christ. Thank God it is happening. The people who were baptized on Sunday were helped by people who were baptized just last year. Many of the adult chaperones who helped with the Student Ministry have grown by leaps and bounds in their faith walk in just the past couple of years. Thank God. Thanks to the family members who supported those being baptized.
Baptism is about hope. Baptism is the outward expression of an inward decision to accept Jesus Christ and begin a new life in Christ. New life is about hope. God is about hope.
Hope: To desire something with some confidence of fulfillment. A desire supported by some confidence in its fulfillment. A ground for expectation. To look forward. Expectation. Confidence. Anticipation. "Be joyful in hope..." Romans 12:12 "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 "..my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:5b
