Why Should I Get Baptized?

Yesterday was a powerful day in this Bible Plan. Some of you might have even decided for the first time in your life that you want Jesus to be the One who’s leading you. If you did, that’s awesome! Now, it’s time for prayer, and today’s video, questions, and Bible reading. 

Pray Together

Thank You, God, for saving us and bringing us into Your family. Please teach us what baptism is and how it shows others that we belong to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
