Please enjoy this preview of FPC Virtual Connection for Baptism of the Lord Sunday at First Presbyterian Church 1793
In Matthew 3, Jesus steps onto center stage for the first time as an adult. John the Baptist, who believes he is unworthy to do so, reluctantly baptizes Jesus. God voices divine approval after the baptism: “And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw God’s Spirit descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from the heavens said, “This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”
Why does baptism always seem to be a community event? How does the baptism of Jesus initiate his ministry to all humankind? How does the baptism of Jesus relate to our own baptism? How does God continue to call and commission us to love and serve others guided by the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus?
We hope you’ll join us for 10:30 a.m. Worship.
