Sacrament: Lesson Two

On October 3rd, we had the second session in our sacrament series and we had our second lesson on baptism. Here are some of the key scriptures and concepts:

Bible Text: Matthew 28:16–20; Genesis 6–9; 2 Kings 5:1–14; Romans 6:3–11
Lesson Focus: With water and word, we are washed in God's loving grace.
Big Question: How does baptism work?
Key Words: WATER, WORD, PROMISE, SACRAMENT


WATER: ordinary H2O through and with which God does amazing things.

WORD: Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God made flesh. Also, spoken and written words that point us to the Living Word.

PROMISE: A commitment that is dependable and reliable.

SACRAMENT: God's word joined with an earthly element through which God promises to work. The Lutheran Church teaches that there are two sacraments—holy communion and holy baptism.
