In this episode of Sermon Notes, Wade Owens and Matt Pearson, campus and teaching pastors at Brentwood Baptist churches, have a heartfelt and insightful discussion centered on Acts 10:44-48—the pivotal moment when the Holy Spirit falls on Gentile believers for the first time. They explore the global scope of the gospel, the importance of immediate obedience in the life of a Christian, and why baptism was and should still be a bold, public declaration of faith. The pastors reflect on the early church’s passion for baptism, the significance of communal celebrations, and how these ancient practices can challenge and encourage believers today. They also address common hesitations around baptism and urge listeners to consider their own next steps of obedience and faith.
