The focus of the early church's Sunday morning meeting was to meet, worship the Lord and to spend time together.

Our appeal in baptism is to the Father on the basis of what Jesus did. Our focus is on what Jesus did…..not on ourselves. [paraphrastic]

"Our appeal, and our only appeal, is on the basis of the person of Jesus and what He has done for us!"

Some of the scriptures from Matt Ryniker’s Baptism Sermon this morning,

Ephesians 4:4-6
Romans 6:3-4
Romans 3:23.  All have sinned
1 John 1:8-9

Romans 6:6-11
⁶ For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,^[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— ⁷ because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

⁸ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹ For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. ¹⁰ The death he died, he died to sinonce for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
