In today's sermon, we look at Paul's command to the church: "Restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness."

Because the church is a spiritual family — adopted by God, connected not by blood but by the Spirit — we bear the responsibility of helping our brothers and sisters when they fall into sin.

In this episode we explore:

• Why Christians still struggle with sin
• The role of mature, Spirit-led believers in the restoration process
• The biblical meaning of "restore" — repair, reset, mend
• Why gentleness is essential for true spiritual healing
• The dangers of pride while helping someone else recover
• How to guard your own heart while carrying another's burden
• The importance of humility, patience, and Spirit-led confrontation

Key Scriptures:

Galatians 6:1–3; Galatians 5:25–26; 1 John 1:8–9; 1 Corinthians 3:1–3; 2 Timothy 2:24–25; Matthew 7:3–5

Theme:

We restore because God has restored us. We show mercy because He has shown mercy. And we carry one another because none of us stands strong alone.

In this Baptism Sunday sermon, Pastor Mambwe leads Baptist Community Church into the heart of the Gospel: the rescue God offers through Jesus Christ.

Drawing from Romans 8:1–5, this message answers three foundational questions:

1. What prompts God's rescue?

We are born under sin, unable to save ourselves, and in desperate need of Someone who can do for us what we cannot do. Condemnation is real — but so is God's grace.

2. What has God done for us?

God took the initiative by sending His Son:

• Jesus came in the likeness of sinful humanity
• He became our sin offering
• God condemned our sin in Jesus so that condemnation would no longer rest on us

3. What does the Spirit do in us now?

The Holy Spirit breaks sin's power and places our lives under new management. He reshapes our desires, gives us strength, and sets our minds on what pleases God.

This episode beautifully celebrates baptism, salvation, new life, and the joy of being fully rescued — not just from hell, but from the grip of sin itself.

If you've ever wondered what it means to be "in Christ," or if you're seeking hope and transformation, this sermon is for you.
