Baptism has long been a symbol of faith and obedience for followers of Jesus. At The District Church, we hold the conviction that baptism is an outward expression of an inward faith in Christ. It’s more than a symbolic act; it’s a declaration of repentance, trust, and commitment. As we explore baptism’s importance, we’ll look at why Jesus Himself was baptized, His command for His followers to be baptized, and the significance of this sacrament in our walk with Christ.
In today’s fast-paced, often self-focused world, the idea of loving our neighbors can feel abstract or secondary. Yet, this is one of the most fundamental teachings of Jesus, encapsulated in the Great Commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But what does this look like in practice? How do we live out this commandment in our daily lives, especially with those who live right next door?
The Challenge of Time
It’s hard to be a good neighbor when you’re never home. Our busy lives often prevent us from being present, both physically and emotionally, with those around us. The story of Mary and Martha from Luke 10 illustrates this beautifully.
As followers of Jesus who seek to love, think, and act like Him, who seek to obey the command to love our neighbor, we are compelled to the vision of justice and impacting our city for Christ, one neighborhood at a time. The question is, how do we accomplish this, especially since so many of us are relatively new to the city and have busy lives?

Have you ever considered the possibility that we might be overcomplicating the Second Greatest Commandment? What if, in trying to make it abstract, we’ve overlooked its most straightforward and powerful application—loving the people right next to us?
