Trent Heaton opens Ephesians 2 and shows us that our joy in good work points to something deeper—it reflects the design of our Creator.

Baptism Sunday | Unashamed
Magnify Church - Rockford
In our culture, it’s not always easy to stand up and proclaim that you follow Jesus. That’s what makes baptism so powerful—it’s a bold, public declaration that your life belongs to Him. Aligning your life with Christ means living out that declaration every single day and walking in the freedom from sin that salvation provides. This Baptism Sunday, we get to celebrate together with powerful testimonies, heartfelt worship, and time in God’s Word, as Stu Quackenbush reminds us what it means to live Unashamed for Jesus.

In Psalm 103, we see a powerful picture of a Father who forgives all our iniquities, heals our diseases, redeems our lives from the pit, and crowns us with His steadfast love and mercy.
