Launch Day

26 From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. 27 “His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him… Acts 17:26-27

Baptism Is:

I. A

from God.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

16 After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the

13 On the Sabbath we went a little way outside the city to a
riverbank, where we thought people would be meeting for prayer,
and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered
there. 14 One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of
expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us,
the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was
saying. 15 She and her household were baptized, Acts 16:13-15

Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, and everyone in his
household believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also heard
Paul, became believers, and were baptized. Acts 18:8

V. A

_ of the heart.
36 As they rode along, they came to some water, and the
eunuch said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?”
38 He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the
water, and Philip baptized him. Acts 8:36-38
