This has been an excellent week!
Family Sunday, Tailgait Party, Inflatables, Watergames, Tons of Food, Football and Baptismal Service, School... what can I say?
Who got wet at the Tailgait party?
2 girls who love God +want to serve God= Winners
Cassidy Parrish and Sarah Cockrell certainly got drenched!
The girls were baptized on Sunday Night...
Cassidy loves Jesus and wants to serve Him in every way she can. She asks God to help the poor and desires to serve them wherever they are.
Sarah decided to serve God with all of her life at the age of 8. She prayed and asked Jesus to forgive her sins and to help her live for Him everyday of her life. Jesus is helping Sarah overcome many things in her life...including fear.
I am so proud of them and can't wait to see what God does through them!
When we are baptized we show others that we no longer want to live the way we want but we want to live the way God wants us to live. We ask God to help us in making decisions...deciding how to think and do the right thing...the thing that pleases Him.
This summer we learned from Colossians3 that when we choose to live for God things like anger, jealousy, doing whatever you want whenever you want, meaness, profanity and dirty talk no longer need to be a part of our life. Instead we ask God to fill our life with compassion, kindness, humilty, quiet strength, discipline, forgivenss and love. Our life becomes different because of Jesus living in our life!
So baptism...is showing that we have put sin to death and we are living LIFE in Jesus!
Have a great rest of the week!!!
I am praying for you!
Love,
Pastor Larissa
