Sermons From the Woodshop 3/1/2026 Preparing For Baptism

Dear Children of Abraham, The children of Abraham are the followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In today's readings we see God's interaction with Abraham and the seeds of the beginning of our faith. It is Abraham's relationship with God that is the seminal event of belief in Yahweh and the launch pad of three major world religions. Paul's letter to the Roman's distinguishes the difference between Judaism and Christianity that explains the difference from following the works of the law and following Jesus Christ in faith. The Gospel of John, a stage play meant for evangelization and converts to the faith, features the scene of Jesus and Nicodemus discussing that a person must be reborn of water and the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. This passage is a clear allusion to the catechumens who are preparing to be baptized in the water and the Spirit at Easter. This is the Sunday to reflect on what our own baptism means to us and our inclusion in the the family of God and the Christian church. It is a day to pray for those preparing for baptism and reception into the church and for those re-entering the Christian faith. It is a day to remember our own dedication to our faith and our baptism by water and the Spirit. Amen. Please pray for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, Venezuela, and anywhere there is conflict, oppression, and tyranny. Please pray for all those who have asked for our prayers, those that need our prayers, and those who no one may be praying for. May God Bless and Keep you and your families in peace and grace.
