Welcome to the sermon at Grace Presbyterian Church in Round Rock, Texas. This week Pastor Nancy helps us explore the profound truth that God knows us intimately, calls us by name, and claims us as God’s own, just as we see in the baptism of Jesus in Luke 3. At the Jordan River, Jesus hears the voice of God declaring him beloved. Through our baptism, we, too, are named and claimed by the same unwavering love. This identity is not the end of the story—it is also a calling. God doesn’t simply love us and leave us as we are; God sends us into the world, empowered by the Spirit, to live out our belovedness in acts of compassion, justice, and service. I hope you find empowerment in our message today.
