This Sunday, August 23rd, is ConneXion Sunday at 5 Points which means it is another day to celebrate those who will be baptized.  Here is a little bit of why you should be baptized.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BAPTISM?

1. It illustrates Christ´s burial and resurrection.

“Christ died for our sins… He was buried… and He rose again.” –I Cor. 15:3-4

“For when you were baptized, you were buried with Christ, and in baptism you were also raised with Christ.” –Col. 2:12

2. It illustrates my new life as a Christian.

“When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside. The old life has passed away and a new life has begun!” –2 Cor. 5:17

“By our baptism then, we were buried with Him and shared His death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead… so also we may live a new life!” –Rom. 6:4

Baptism doesn´t make you a believer – it shows that you already believe. Baptism does not “save” you, only your faith in Christ does that. Baptism is like a wedding ring – it´s the outward symbol of the commitment you make in your heart.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith… it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” –Ephesians 2:8,9

Why do we serve?

1. We SERVE out of graditude for what Jesus has done for us.
2. We SERVE as an expression of the spiritual gifts God has given us.
3. We SERVE as part of God’s plan for growing His church.
4. We SERVE so that we are givers and not just takers.
5. We SERVE to be part of something bigger than ourselves that will make a difference for eternity.

This Saturday, August 8th, is a Campus Work Day…a day when we are going to get our campus ready for the fall.  We thought we would give you some reasons to be there.

1. To Serve – It’s an opportunity to do what we are called to do…SERVE
2. Guests Are Coming – With the start of a new school year and summer being over people start settling back into their routine.  It’s also a time when we see a rise in people checking out our campus.  We want to give them a great first impression.
3. It’s Your Church – If you are a member or call 5 Points your home church…that means it is only going to be as GOOD as YOU make it.
4. Meet Others At 5 Points – Many people will be out and it’s going to be a great time to get to know others.
5. To Help Your Team – Our leaders will be working on many of their areas…if you are part of a team it’s your chance to help take your area to a new level.
