Buried and Raised: Part 1 | Pastor Cole Massey
This message explores the biblical theme of water as God’s repeated pattern of bringing order out of chaos and offering new life. From the Spirit hovering over the waters in Genesis 1, through the flood with Noah, the Red Sea with Moses, and into the baptism proclaimed by John, Scripture shows God making a way through the waters for those who trust Him. Baptism is not a routine or mere tradition; it is participation in this ancient story of leaving the old life behind and rising into the life God provides. The call is to recover awe for what God does when someone enters those waters and to remain rooted in Scripture so we understand why it matters.
