Baptism Sunday | Why Bother Series Finale

About this episode

Pastor Leonce discusses the significance of baptism as a public declaration of faith in the series finale of 'Why Bother?'.

What does baptism really mean, and why does it matter for your faith journey? On this Baptism Sunday, Pastor Leonce breaks down Romans 6:3-4 to reveal how baptism is not a religious ritual but a bold public declaration of faith, symbolizing the burial of your old life and resurrection into new life through Jesus Christ. Whether you're considering baptism, watching a loved one take the plunge, or exploring Christianity for the first time, this sermon will inspire you to stop waiting and take your next step in obedience, surrender, and courageous faith today. This is week 7 of “Why Bother?” — a seven-week series asking honest questions about faith. ___________________________ Thank you for listening to United Church's podcast!
