Reflect

What has stuck with you from this weekend's service? What words from the message challenged you? Where is Jesus calling you right now? God knows your name, the "you" behind your name, and loves you. How does that truth change the way you face your current circumstances? What details from the baptism stories jumped out at you? In what ways has Jesus met you in your story?
