Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast. Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

If you have your Bible, I want you to go to the book of Matthew chapter three, and we're going to start at verse six. The book of Matthew, chapter three, we're going to start at verse six. you are making your way there i have to tell you

something that happened last saturday morning okay i decided i woke up saturday morning and i decided

i wanted to take my entire family to our neighborhood swimming pool and so we go out to the

swimming pool that morning and i realize about an hour swimming pool that morning, and I realize about an

hour into it that my tan is perfect. I don't need to stay here any longer. And so I said, listen,

I'm going to go home, and I took my two daughters with me, but I left my two sons with my beautiful

wife, Aaron. And so what I found out is that after I left, apparently my four-year-old son,

his name is Justice, and he is basically potty trained, but every now and again he has an

accident, you know what I'm saying? And so what I found out is that Justice, in the middle of the

pool, surrounded by kids and adults, he squats down, and then out of nowhere, he just yells out,

Mommy, I'm going potty. And apparently everybody ran out of the pool, like it was jaws,

it was a mess in there. But it's so funny because kids say the most fascinating things sometimes, right?

And recently I heard a pastor talk about

this little kid coming up to him and saying, he meant to say, Pastor, I want to be baptized.

But instead of saying, Pastor, when can I be baptized? He says, Pastor, when can I be advertised?

It's funny, but I want to give some credit to the kid because he's on to something.

See, the reality is that the Bible tells us that when we are water baptized, we actually

advertise. We actually advertise Jesus, amen? And so today we're going to talk about

one of the pillars of our faith, and it is water baptize or water baptism. And the title of the

message is, water baptism, it's time to advertise. Water baptism, it's time to advertise.

Why don't you look at your neighbor at every campus?
