What is Baptism? ... And All The Reasons Why You Should Be Baptized - Joey McLaughlin - X Multiply

Elevate City Church

We cannot be obedient to the great commission in our generation without baptism front and center.

The early church saw God add to their number day by day those being saved (Acts 2:47). We long to see our commitment to prayer, disciple making and bold gospel conversations result in lost people coming to faith in Jesus every single day. There are 365 days in a year. If 10 years from now we see 365 baptisms annually across all our campuses this would symbolically represent that every day people are meeting Jesus.

For the next 10 years or as long as Jesus lets me be the pastor here we will be daily focused on seeing those far from God being raised to new life in Jesus. We want to be crazy farmers who refuse to get comfortable in our holy little huddles, who refuses to play it safe and just hunker down til the rapture comes. We believe that the reason we are still alive and still have breath in our lungs is so that those who don’t know can know. So those who haven’t met Jesus can meet Jesus and be raised to new life in Him.

We want to be so committed to being Jesus witnesses, so committed to making disciples, so committed to boldly communicating the gospel, to being crazy farmers, who tell the Jesus story that skeptics are becoming believers. Dead people are coming alive. Searching people are getting saved. Broken people are being made whole. Dirty people are having their sins washed white as snow by the blood of Jesus. And we want to be constantly celebrating that together publicly through Baptism. Which means everyone of you should have it as your goal, to be baptized and to disciple and baptize someone else.
