This Sunday is Baptism day at Foothills Community Church Seneca campus (July 4th at our Toccoa campus). I never get tired of these days. You may wonder why?, Here are a few reasons:
1) Baptisms are to a church, what a goal is to a soccer team (unfortunately goals are rare in soccer :-)) It is a very big deal, and we celebrate baptisms.
2) It is an outward expression of an inward decision (like wearing a wedding ring)
3) It unifies the church. It keeps the main thing, the main thing.
4) It is a symbol of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord.
5) It is a symbol that someone who was lost is now found. That someone who was dead is now alive!
6) It is an indicator that the church is doing what they have been called to do.
7) It is a chance to party with all of heaven. Lk 15:8-10
Here's the deal---If you have given your life to Jesus Christ and have not been baptized, then plan on coming to Foothills this Sunday at 9:30am or 11:15am and be prepared to take the plunge!!
