Baptism Service – This is our second baptism service and if you have never been baptized and would like to get wet then just send Pastor Nic an email and he will give you more information. Baptisms are very special for us as a church and we want everyone to be there if possible. We are going to serve lunch and dessert after the service as part of the celebration.
Message from Pastor Nic…
Last Sunday I spoke about the power of confession to start a movement. In the case of Nehemiah, a whole nation got together to get real with God by confessing how they have fallen short as a nation. That confession started a movement of renewal that transformed the city and the country. For us a Sequoia, we desire the same thing. Our heart is for our entire city to get real with God. We do this by sharing the good news about Jesus, who gives us the freedom to confess to him because of what he has done for us. The bible says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Jesus wants us to get real with him as individuals and as a church. When we as a church embrace the power of confession, we will experience the freedom in forgiveness. Is there an area in your life that you need to confess to someone else? Is there someone that you have hurt? Is there a shortcoming in your life that only you know about? Confess it to Jesus and let him bring healing into your life.
