What is the true meaning of water baptism? In this special service, Pastor Jay Genin unpacks the biblical foundation of baptism and its powerful significance for every believer. Baptism isn’t just a ritual—it’s a public declaration of faith, a step of obedience, and a celebration of new life in Jesus Christ. This message highlights why baptism matters, how it symbolizes being buried with Christ and raised to new life, and what it means to walk in the freedom and identity we now have as children of God. You’ll also hear testimonies and see the joy of lives transformed by the love of Jesus.
