That’s Interesting | Why is Baptism Important? August 30, 2026

Why was Jesus baptized? And why do we practice believer's baptism? Baptism is an ancient practice, but it is also a deeply personal and public declaration of faith. As we look at the story of baptism from John the Baptist to the Great Commission, to baptism in the Church today, we'll consider what it means to publicly align ourselves with Jesus.
