2/23/25 - Pastor Mark Condon | Baptism: What Doth Hinder?

 • Mark Condon • Series: Sunday Service

This powerful message dives deep into the biblical foundation of baptism, addressing its significance in salvation. Rooted in Acts 8:36-38, where the Ethiopian eunuch asks, "What doth hinder me to be baptized?", Pastor Mark unpacks how belief is the gateway to salvation and why baptism is an essential step in faith. Through scripture and historical context, the message clarifies that baptism is not a human work but a work of God’s grace. The sermon explores Acts 2:38, Peter’s response to those seeking salvation, emphasizing repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and receiving the Holy Spirit. It challenges common misconceptions about baptism being optional and affirms that the New Testament church always baptized in the name of Jesus. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on what may be hindering them from taking this step and to respond in obedience to God’s plan. 💧 "Here is water; what doth hinder you?" 💧
