These days most people will grant that Jesus Christ was a great teacher who lived in a corner of the old Roman empire. Most also welcome his teachings as a sound basis for civilization. But what difference does that make now? Why has a whole religion been built on this person? What did he actually say and do? And how can we trust the written records about him?

Baptism is the public announcement of a personal experience. It is a Christian act of obedience and a public testimony of a believer’s willingness to identify with and follow Christ. Jesus gave us his example and his command to teach us about baptism. John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan River, leaving us an example to do the same as a public statement of our faith.

The Bible is God’s message for his people. It is made up of 66 books containing stories, prophecy, and guidelines for godly living. From the time of Moses until the Apostle Paul, God inspired people to write down his words so his message could be given to everyone.
