  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jesus Is My Lord and I Am NOT ASHAMED | Baptism Sunday 2026&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Baptism is more than a church tradition. It is a public declaration that Jesus has changed your life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this sermon, we walk through what scripture teaches about baptism, salvation, obedience, and the symbolism behind going public with your faith. From the teachings of Jesus to the early church in Acts, this message reminds us that baptism is a celebration of the Gospel and the new life found in Christ.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Key Insights:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understand the biblical purpose and meaning behind believers baptism.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn the difference between salvation through Jesus and obedience through baptism.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Discover how baptism symbolizes freedom, new life, and identity in Christ.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;See why baptism was consistently connected to faith throughout the New Testament.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gain confidence in publicly declaring your faith and following Jesus boldly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
