A King Inaugurated | Matthew 3:13-17

In Matthew 3:13–17, Jesus’ baptism marks the beginning of His public ministry—the moment when the King is inaugurated. As He steps into the waters of the Jordan, He identifies with sinners, fulfills all righteousness, and receives the Father’s affirmation and the Spirit’s anointing. In this powerful scene, heaven declares who Jesus is: the beloved Son in whom the Father is well pleased.

Join Pastor Chris as he unpacks this moment of divine revelation and shows how Jesus’ baptism points to our own union with Him—washed, welcomed, and sent to live under His lordship.
