Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast. We are excited that you tuned in.

Today's message is why water baptism. Pastor Mike will explain what obedience

looks like through this public declaration. So from wherever you're listening,

we hope you're encouraged by this week's message.

Men, I am so glad that you guys are here today. If you can't tell, we are fired up.

Because today is flood Sunday.

How's Mike? What is flood Sunday? You guys are screaming, yelling, wearing all the same T-shirts. What is happening here?

We've been in a series called Grace Like a Flood.

And this has been probably the most revolutionary series we've ever done.

Because it's talking about the grace of God.

And we say that stuff and we were like nothing but the grace of God.

But we don't really understand it. Most of us don't have a real revelation that what Christ did was not something that we have to earn for the rest of our life.

It's something that we have to receive and live out of that knowledge. See, the grace of God is the unmerited, un-earned, undeserved,

favor and kindness of God. There's nothing you did except believe in this gift that God gave you.

We had four weeks of washing religion off of us. Because some of us were born into it.

Like we came into families where it was just like heaven or hell.

You either do everything right or you're going to hell. That was basically the gospel.

But it like took Jesus out of it. Like if you read the Bible, it tells us all of sin and fallen short of the glory of God.

But we know the wages of sin is death. But it's like we stop at that part of the scripture.

The rest of the scripture says, but the free gift of God. Now how many of us like free gifts?

Now come on now. I don't care how rich you are. A free gift.

The free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus.
