3rd Sunday of Advent - December 15, 2019 - Lighting the Candle of Joy and the Joy of Baptism

Our Sunday worship services on the 15th were simply great!  We baptized Stephanie Blunt during the morning service and then during our evening gathering, we baptized Paul and Tiffany McCoy.  All three were adult baptisms and all are great testimonies to the power of prayer and the working in our hearts by God's Holy Spirit.

The video of the morning service didn't turn out so I stripped the audio from our live stream and made it into a video.  The message was short as it was delivered from the Baptistery.

Be a blessing to someone today!

In Christ,Roy

Matthew 3:13-17New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Beloved,[a] with whom I am well pleased.”
