Sermon: "Jesus' Baptism Heals Our Flawed Thinking" | Rev Nick Braunschneider

When we say that we are a "Life-Affirming Church," what do we mean? While it includes our stance related to abortion, it extends far beyond it, to how we view the person sitting next to us and how we see the world. On this Sanctity of Life Sunday, we will consider Jesus' act of receiving the rite of baptism from John. In His baptism, Jesus declares that the life of every human being is worth serving and saving.
