The Body of Christ

This coming Sunday we will be celebrating our first baptisms at The Centre Community Church! Baptism is a public declaration of the faith a person has in Jesus Christ as their Saviour. It is a symbolic joining with Jesus in his death, burial, and resurrection. It is a public declaration that we are dying to our old way of life, and rising again as a new creation in Christ. This is not something to be done in secret or in a small group but with the whole body of Christ, so that we all can join in the celebration and praise God together!

As Christians we are all called to be baptized. It is an act of obedience to God, submission to His will, and an act of faith demonstrating that you believe He is who He says He is. If you haven’t been baptized yet and would like to be, please don’t put it off. It is an important step that every Christian is called to take.

We will also be continuing our series in Philippians this Sunday looking at 2:19-30. This passage is a clear demonstration of how the body of Christ is to work — serving each other, being served by others, and making sure that all are cared for. As I said last week, following Jesus is not a solo sport, it’s a team event! Hope you can make it out this week to cheer on and support the body of Christ, and in turn be supported and encouraged. See you at 6 on Sunday.
