January 10 Sermon: Getting Wet

As the children of God, we are part of a covenant community. We have union with Christ, but we also have union with one another. This connection to our Lord and to one another is important because it reminds us that we are a called and forgiven people whose identity is not rooted in ourselves but instead rooted in who Christ proclaims us to be in the gospel. In our New Testament lesson this morning we see how Christ fulfilled all righteousness to bring us to himself.
