In this heartfelt sermon, we celebrate the baptism of baby Owen—a joyful moment that brings the church family together across generations. But more than just a special occasion, Owen’s baptism reminds us of something deeper: that God doesn’t love us from a distance. God loves us up close.Drawing from the stunning vision in Revelation and the tender words of Jesus in John’s Gospel, we’re reminded that the presence of God isn’t confined to a temple—it’s within us. Eternal life isn’t just a future hope—it’s something we begin living now, as we come to know God and walk in the love of Christ. And in the midst of a complicated, often broken world, Jesus speaks peace into our lives—the kind of peace the world cannot give and cannot take away.As we renew our baptismal promises and come to the table once again, this sermon invites us to remember who we are: people filled with the Spirit, people called to live with courage, with compassion, and with deep, abiding love.Join us in this celebration and reflection, and be reminded that wherever you are, God is already there—dwelling with you, working through you, and calling you into a life of peace and promise.Watch now and let your heart be lifted.
