Beloved Before Anything Else 042626

About this episode

Lay Pastor Rosella Shishido reflects on the significance of baptism and our identity as God's beloved children in Christ.

In week three of The Way with Jesus , Lay Pastor Rosella Shishido reflects on Luke 3:21–22 and the baptism of Jesus. She explores why Jesus chose baptism, what baptism signifies for believers, and how it reveals God’s declaration of Jesus as His beloved Son. Rosella then shifts to the heart of the message: our identity in Christ. Through Scripture, practical examples, and personal stories, she reminds us that in Christ we are God’s beloved children, not because of what we achieve but because of His grace. This sermon invites you to receive and live from that identity every day.
