Celebrating Through Baptism
by Curt Dodd on March 24th, 2025
Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. – Acts 2:38Baptism is like a big celebration where we show others that we've decided to follow Jesus.
