Sermon: The Waters Made Holy

In this sermon, “The Waters Made Holy,” Pastor David Balla proclaims the Gospel through Matthew 3:16, revealing how Christ’s Baptism sanctifies all waters for salvation. When Jesus steps into the Jordan River, He does not receive cleansing—He brings it. By entering the water, Christ consecrates Baptism as a means of grace, joining God’s Word and Spirit to water for the forgiveness of sins, rescue from death, and eternal salvation.

This sermon is preached from a confessional Lutheran (LCMS) perspective, clearly distinguishing Law and Gospel and confessing Baptism not as a symbol, but as God’s saving action. Drawing from Scripture and the Church’s historic teaching, this message addresses doubt, assurance, repentance, and the daily life of the baptized.

If you are seeking faithful preaching on Baptism, real forgiveness, Christ’s atoning work, and the certainty of salvation, this sermon is for you.
