In this message from Pastor Dave of the Seed Christian Fellowship, the focus is on the significance of baptism as seen in Matthew 3:1–17, where John the Baptist calls for repentance and prepares the way for Jesus, who is baptized to fulfill all righteousness, resulting in the heavens opening, the Spirit descending like a dove, and God's voice declaring, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." Amid debates over modes—immersion, pouring, sprinkling, or even humorous anecdotes like fire-hose baptisms or Ollie's "conversion" from beef to fish—Pastor Dave emphasizes that the form is secondary; baptism is an outward sign of inward spiritual realities worked by the Holy Spirit: death to sin and resurrection to new life, cleansing and forgiveness of sins, regeneration and renewal, and adoption or engrafting as beloved sons and daughters into God's family. Drawing from personal stories, including a powerful Andean river baptism and a young man's spontaneous decision to be baptized, he urges listeners to remember who they are in Christ—forgiven, renewed, and loved by the Father—echoing the call to Simba in The Lion King: "Remember who you are. You are more than you have become," inviting all, whether baptized or not, to embrace this new beginning in the new year through faith in Jesus.

In this inspiring message from Jordan Laemmlen at The Seed Christian Fellowship, explore the powerful promise of Psalm 29:11: “The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.” Jordan unpacks how God’s unmatched power—thundering over creation like in Psalm 29—brings deep, unshakable peace, not through our own efforts but through surrender to Him. Drawing from UFC fighter Jalin Turner’s journey of emptiness, retirement at 29, and triumphant return filled with Christ-centered confidence, alongside biblical examples like David facing Goliath and Stephen’s peaceful martyrdom, he reminds us: true strength and peace flow from trusting Jesus, not self-reliance. This isn’t a TED Talk—it’s real life with eternal stakes. Seek Him first, surrender today, and experience the strength and peace only Christ provides.Filmed at The Seed Christian Fellowship.

In this post-Christmas message from Pastor Dave of the Seed Christian Fellowship, Simeon and Anna exemplify faithful waiting for the Messiah amid centuries of silence: the righteous, Spirit-guided Simeon daily watched in the temple, trusting God's promise that he would see Israel's consolation before death, while the elderly widow Anna, undeterred by sorrow and lifelong devotion to prayer and fasting, refused bitterness and looked for Jerusalem's redemption—both recognizing the infant Jesus as the promised light to the nations and glory to Israel, bringing comfort to losses and rescue from sin's bondage; their stories challenge listeners entering a new year to handle grief by turning toward Christ rather than growing hard, to let inner hope outweigh surrounding hopelessness, to trust that God works while we wait, and to ask what kind of "music" we will make with whatever we have left, waking daily to seek His presence and sharing the good news of the Messiah who has come.
