In a historic baptism service at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church, twenty-nine believers followed the example of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 by going public with their faith through baptism. The service drew on Philip's witness that belief in Jesus Christ opens the door to baptism and new life. Each candidate was celebrated by family and congregation as a living testimony that Christ raises the dead to walk in newness of life.

Unlock with your sermon →According to this sermon, baptism symbolizes dying to the old self and rising to new life, just as Christ was raised from the grave. The pastor explains that believers go down into the water in burial of death and come up walking in newness of life, publicly declaring their faith in Jesus Christ.
The sermon references Acts 8, where Philip tells the Ethiopian eunuch, 'If you believe with all your heart, you may.' The eunuch responds, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' This exchange shows that sincere, wholehearted belief in Jesus is the biblical requirement before baptism.
The pastor references Luke 15, which says heaven rejoices over one soul that comes to repentance. He uses this to celebrate 29 baptisms, saying that if heaven is rejoicing over each new believer, the congregation on earth should be rejoicing and celebrating alongside them as well.
