This Sunday we celebrated with several people who declared their faith in Jesus by being baptized.    Water baptism has been done by faithful followers of Christ for a long time.    It was practiced by the first century church and recognized as important by the apostles.    For today’s study we’ll look at what the Bible teaches us about water baptism.   You’ll have opportunity in group to share about your personal experience with baptism and to talk about its meaning and relevance to our lives.
