Baptism, Media, Sermons, The Church: God's New Humanity, in Jesus | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

We continue in our series, The Church: God’s New Humanity in Jesus. The local church is far more important to the Christian life than most realize. Often, this is because we haven’t taken the time to ask the simple but profound question, “What is Jesus’ church?” This morning we ask, “What is baptism?” Who is baptism for? What does it mean? Where should one be baptized? How does it fit into the church’s life? Amidst baptismal confusion, let’s seek some answers.

Media, Sermons, The Church: God's New Humanity, in Jesus | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

We continue a new eight week series, The Church: God’s New Humanity, in Jesus. The local church is far more important to the Christian life than most realize. Often, this is because we haven’t taken the time to ask the simple, but profound, question, “What is Jesus’ church?” So, building on last week, this morning we ask, “What is the mission of Jesus’ church?” What is Jesus’ church to do, to be about? Has Jesus given us a specific mission? Yes, yes he has.

First Things, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

What are the first things in the life of Jesus’ church? Even if you don’t follow Jesus, you’ve likely wondered, “What is all of this about?” You’re not alone. It can be confusing. So, in this five-week series, we’re considering foundational biblical principles for a healthy, Jesus-treasuring, people-loving, Spirit-empowered, life-transforming local church. This study is built on the backbone of DCC’s mission statement and ten core convictions. Who are we? Why do we exist? What are we doing? That’s what this series is all about-for God’s glory, and our deepest joy.

What is the mission of Jesus’ church? Why does it exist? In a word, what is the church for? What is our role in that? Those are the kinds of questions we’ll explore today in light of Matthew 28:16-20. What we’ll discover is that, yes, Jesus’ church has a massive, far-reaching purpose. His church is central to God’s unfolding story of redemption, across continents and millennia, among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world, and every follower of Jesus is called to be a part of it.

Easter, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

He is risen! Today, on Easter, we gather to celebrate Jesus’ climactic defeat of Satan, sin, and death through his death on the cross and resurrection from the grave. To do that we will turn Matthew 28:16-20, a passage famously known as the Great Commission. These familiar words give us insight into the reality of Jesus’ resurrection, the uniqueness of Jesus’ identity, and the surprising nature of Jesus’ unfolding mission.

Baptism, Media, Other Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

Jesus commands us, in the great commission to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20. Where did Christian baptism originate? What is its meaning? How is it to be done? Who is it for? Today we are going to see that Christian baptism is far from an empty religious ritual, but an outward expression of a personal commitment to Christ.
