In this week’s sermon, Steve talked about “signs.” What kinds of signs do we hold up about ourselves on a daily basis? (clothes we wear, words we speak, car we drive, attitudes we convey, etc.) What do these things say about us as individuals?

How do you feel about a married person that goes around without his or her wedding ring?

Have you ever been surprised to see someone who you discovered to be different on the inside than what they were “advertising” on the outside? How? What was your reaction to that person?

What is it that our baptism says about each of us? What does it say about what Christ has done in us?

Why do some Christians feel that baptism is unimportant for them?

In light of these verses, what was the importance of baptism to Jesus? (John 3:22, John 4:1, Matthew 28:18-20?)

What does Ephesians 2:4-6 say about the sign of baptism for us? What does this sign mean?
hint: It means that God has done in me spiritually what He did in Christ physically.

If this is true… Then how does this tie to Ephesians 1:19-20? And what about 2 Corinthians 5:17?
