This sermon celebrates baptism as an act of discipleship and a public testimony of Christ's finished work, not a means of earning salvation. It explains that baptism beautifully illustrates the gospel—Jesus's death and resurrection—and that our obedience to this command is not about adding to our own "good list," but is a joyful response to the perfect righteousness that Jesus has already fulfilled and credited to us.

 

In light of current events surrounding George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement, Pastor Ryan Kwon was invited into the home of Pastor Léonce Crump from Renovation Church in Atlanta, GA to discuss the events that have led up to this season of protests and unrest, and what are some steps that the Church can take towards racial reconciliation.

 

This sermon explores the pivotal question, "Who do you say I am?", asserting that Jesus is more than a good teacher; he is the promised King and the Son of the Living God. The message emphasizes that the correct answer to this question leads to a transformed life of surrender and dependence on God's grace, which makes us His beloved children and empowers us to live out our faith.

This sermon teaches that true discipleship requires three fundamental habits: self-denial, which involves not demanding what one is owed; a deliberate rejection of worldly wisdom in favor of Christ's teachings; and the willingness to die to oneself, mirroring Jesus' sacrifice, as the only path to finding true and eternal life.

This sermon begins with the theme of God's provision and the need for the current generation to carry forward the gospel message. It then transitions to Jesus' question, "Why are you afraid?", using the story of Jesus calming the storm to demonstrate that His power is real, infinite, and sufficient to overcome any trial, urging believers to replace their fear with faith in His love and control.

This sermon explains that Jesus's perfect obedience, particularly during his temptations, not only fulfilled the law on our behalf but also freed us from the bondage of sin. The message highlights that a true understanding of Christ's willingness to suffer for us inspires a transformed heart that desires to obey God out of love and gratitude, rather than mere obligation.
