by Rev. Joel C Glenn
Type of Event: Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon
Date Recorded: 18 Jan, 2026
Location: Westville, RSA
Topics: Regeneration / Spiritual Growth 
The central element of the baptism service is water. Water in general represents truth, and that is what it represents in baptism: just as water quenches thirst, the truth that is learned from the Lord and His Word quenches our desire for guidance; just as water washes away dirt, truth is the tool by which we wash away sin and evil. Conversely water represents falsity: just as a person needs to be lifted up and saved from drowning, the Lord leads us away from what is false and guides us to live based on His truth.
