Baptism

Your identity is not not in what you can do, but it is in the Gospel. When we are rebuilding after something important has changed in our life, we can be sure that who we are in Christ never changes.

What is a resilient identity in Christ and why is it important for a healthy youth ministry? Check out this blog from the Seven Practices of Healthy Youth Ministry to find out more.

In the second of our Confirmation 2.0 series, this three-part study focuses on Baptism. We look at God's work for us in Baptism ties from Old Testament to New Testament to today.

This curriculum was used in 2020 during our YouthLead retreat. It focuses on helping youth understand their Baptismal identity and how it impacts their everyday faith. In our Baptism, we receive God's promises and God's work is on display. As Baptized children of God, the Holy Spirit strengthens us for all we will experience in life, especially as we are called to be different in this world.

In a time of division, your Baptism builds a bridge between you and billions of people. In this devotion, we are reminded in Baptism we are unified in Christ.

This study is designed to be done as a standalone study, particularly on a Sunday when there may be a Baptism happening in worship. The hope is that such a study will encourage meaningful conversation about how young people can deeply understand their Baptismal Faith. Even though we will get many gifts in this life, no gift is greater or continual gift like the gifts we receive in Baptism.

We love new things, but you have been made new and forgiven because of your Baptism. Read more in this third devotion on Baptism for young people.

How does our Baptism and being raised in Christ change us? In this final devotion on Colossians, we are reminded of just how powerfully God works through our Baptism everyday.
