"The Gift of Baptism: From Death to New Life" - 9:00 a.m. Traditional Eucharist

Jan 11, 2026 • The Rev. Charlie Holt

Rev. Charlie Holt reflects on the baptism of Jesus as the central focus of Epiphany’s first Sunday, exploring why Jesus—sinless and perfect—submitted to a baptism of repentance. Using insights from Scripture and C.S. Lewis, Holt explains that Jesus entered the waters not for His own need, but to fulfill righteousness on our behalf, doing what we cannot fully do ourselves. Through His humility, Jesus identifies with humanity, takes on our sin, and opens heaven to us, granting the gift of imputed righteousness. The sermon calls believers to embrace baptism as a turning from evil to Christ, a death to self, and a resurrection into new life as beloved sons and daughters of God.
