What changes when you stop trying to run your own life, and let Jesus lead?
In this message from Matthew 3:13–17, Thrive Preaching School Student Carmen Lam explores the baptism of Jesus and why this moment matters far more than we might realize. It isn’t just the launch of Jesus’ public ministry, it’s a picture of what it looks like when God begins something new in us.
If you’re wrestling with identity, longing for a fresh start, or wondering what surrender actually looks like, this message will help you see:
Why Jesus chooses to identify with us
How God’s love comes before our performance
What it means to let Jesus take over, one step at a time
If you’ve been waiting for a new beginning, this message is for you.
