Baptism. Beginning. Belonging

About this episode

Dustin Woodward discusses the significance of Jesus' baptism and its implications for understanding our identity and God's approval.

In this message, guest speaker Dustin Woodward walks through the baptism of Jesus and what it reveals about how we’re meant to live. Before Jesus ever performed a miracle or began His ministry, God spoke over Him, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.” His identity and approval were already established. So often, we live trying to earn God’s approval through what we do. But this message reminds us that we don’t work for God’s approval, we live from it. Because of Jesus, we are already loved, already chosen, and already accepted. When we truly understand that, it changes everything about how we live, lead, and follow Him.
