A Fresh Start - Colossians 3:1-4

Every life is precious. The Christian life is a special gift from God, given at Baptism. Baptism is one of the most misunderstood, controversial practices in Christianity. This Biblical look not only describes Baptism, but talks about what it means for the Christian and how it impacts them for eternity.

Baptism is:
  • For Everyone - Ephesians 4:4-6
    ...one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all...
  • For the End - Romans 6:2b-3
    Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
  • For a Beginning - Colossians 2:9-12
    ...you have been given fullness in Christ...
    • For the Heart - Colossians 3:1
      ...set your hearts on things above...
    • For the Mind - Colossians 3:2
      ...set your mind on things above...
    • For Eternity - Colossians 3:3-4
      ...you will also appear with Him in glory.
