Baptism as a Personal Perspective (Making a spalsh)
Speaking about baptism this month, so I want to talk about being based in something. I want to talk about being based in science. We're kind of practicing silence this morning. Okay, so let me just give you a little strip to have from Psalm 46 verse 10. Still know that I am God, I will be exalted in the nation's. I will be exalted in the Earth but it stopped with the film. Children. Joe hope any of the other children have.
I tried to be still done you, but can you be still?
I just wasn't musical statues all over list you for not.
I will people that stuff in their hands. And I was thinking of going on and you know what sometimes it's difficult to be still but you know, sometimes we need to put things down. Sometimes we need to put things down and let me encourage you freeze still and know that he is. God. So, just by telling you be still, that doesn't make you still. Cuz let me just ask you a question. I'll tell you a buddy might to be physically still, what was going on in here?
What was going on in here? Lots of stores, okay, my buddy still but my head's running around with no sunlight is okay. Ask you to be still again. But you know what? It starts with a few steps. I was planning to do this. I was planning to give you a time and say, okay, let's be still for these few months working on it. Now, would you bring still inside you to be focused on the clock? Hebrews chapter 10, verse 22, sister latest come near to God, with an honest and true Hall. That is company with face. That is sure and strong. A hawk's helping sprinkled on mines of being cleansed with a from a sense of guilt. Our bodies, happy washed with pure water. That's why I want to talk about being watched in silence. Anybody remember silence in the title. Silence is golden Silent Night. Sounds of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel.
It's interesting because actually, we live in a world that is full of noise. You guys are shot as music. Play music Mets playing at the speed to make you walk around. And if I want you to linger, the play slow music, they want you to move through quickly. They'll fly faster music. But you know what? Switch it up. I want to encourage you. Most of us probably just have stuff on in the background something once. In awhile, it's just good to switch off the noise.
yeah, if we switch off all the noise around, this will probably start to hit trains and planes in the Remember the zoom out when we can zoom out the plane to the trains, then maybe we'll start to hit some birds singing. And then I supposed to go to sleep at the end of the day. Maybe you'll hear some rustling in the garden of insects but you know, what? One wants to be quiet. We have to stop with a bit of a bike whitening on mine forcible. Cuz I'm mind will impact your heart. You know what? If I might too stressful? Your heart will beat faster. You are not. You are. You are not quiet and still But you know what? The way I taught? My buddy is too quiet, my heart. What are the White Sox. My heart is just breathe out for 7 Seconds. Hold it or something like that. Gets you very sensitive. Not talk about meditation and anything that I'll just talk about breathing guys.
But yeah, I think we sent her. If we think about it, we can go out nobody but you know, one way to go out now parties to go out in the house. Sometimes we need to put some things down on things down. Now, sometimes we need to mentally
I'm one of the things if I'm focusing on trying to be quiet, one of things, I will do. Sometimes I will spend a minute 2 minutes, 3 minutes, just writing some things so that I get them out my head and so I can pick it up out now cuz then I want a piece of paper. I'll come back to them later. And then, once that list is finished dispersing. Then I can quiet my mind, caught my heart, my heart, my buddy,
The other thing about being still, I'm being washed, is it so much easier to do if you focus on something rather than nothing? If I say empty your minds and try and be still immediately, our minds trying to fill up to something else. And so we going to do this again, I'm going to be on the screen, but I want to give you something to focus on and it's best to, or some 23. And it says, that's not want you just to just go wherever you want to go. If you need to close your eyes, close your eyes, if you want to stare at the back of the chair in front, that's fine. If you want to look at your hands, however you want to do this. Going to ask you just for one minute, just to be still and focus on this scripture. and it says station song, 23 verse to, he lets me lie down in fields of green grass, he leads me beside Quiet Waters, Let's just be still just for one minute.
What it says in Psalm 46, be still and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the Nations be still and know that I am. God. Supposed to.
Show prices, bestow.
Each one of us they'll be something different today. I got will show himself to us and reveal himself to us. I be still and know that I am. God.
OK, Google we come to talk to and what's going to come and stay with us about baptism, not come before him and listen to his wet. and I have title today's, as baptism a personal perspective, I would like to share with you this before. What? Actually, Jesus went through as an example of him being baptized. You could not have started his ministry without being baptized to be going to Festival. Look at Matthew 3:13 217. So Matthew chapter 3, 15 to 17 and I read then, Jesus Came From Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John, I don't try to detain him saying I need.
