Baptism

Baptism - What Are You Waiting For?

This Sunday was our open baptism service.

Did any of your group members get baptized?

If so, take some time to celebrate with them in your Community Group meeting.

Sign a card, make a cake or dessert, buy some balloons, and celebrate what God is doing in their lives.

You could have group members share something they love or are encouraged by from this person’s life. You could also spend time praying for each person who got baptized.

PLEASE READ BEFORE LEADING DISCUSSION

Recommended questions are highlighted in bold, but select 5 or 6 questions you think will work best for your group discussion. You likely won’t have time to discuss all of the questions so choose which questions you will ask ahead of time and make sure to provide plenty of time to focus on the application questions.

Feel free to edit or reword questions to best fit your group.

You may want to print out copies of this document for everyone so they can follow along with the questions as you read them.

Check out this Facilitation Guide for tips on leading good discussions.

I Have Decided

2019.09.29 - Drew Karschner - "I Have Decided" We all want to know God’s will but we often make it harder than it really is. If you boil it down, God’s will for our lives is simply obedience to Him. Obedience is a daily decision where we choose to do the next right thing. For those of you that are Christ-followers but haven’t been baptized yet, baptism is your next step. 1 Thessalonians 4

Sermon Discussion Questions for Not Ashamed

2018.03.11 - Drew Karschner - Not Ashamed There are very few moments in life that remind us who we truly are and that we can remember when life gets really hard. When it comes to following Jesus, publicly declaring Christ as our Savior through baptism is one of those moments that we will never forget. Matthew 3
