Event: Paul in Ephesus
S - Scripture
Acts 19 v. 4-5 And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is Jesus." On hearing this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
O – Observation
Baptism. There is only one name to which to be baptized. Today's verse brings that point home. Ephesians 4 v. 4-5, "There is ONE body and ONE Spirit , just as you are called to the ONE hope that belongs to your call, ONE Lord, ONE Faith, ONE Baptism." Baptism is your commitment. Baptism ties you into Christ. Just as back then, when there were multiple baptisms, so it is today. So many people tie themselves into so many things. They tie themselves to their work, to a sports team, or a hobby. Remember there can be only ONE baptism.
A - Application
What am I tying myself to?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Don't let my baptism just be a ceremony or a symbol. Love Will
