A Distinct Symbol | Distinct

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that Jesus has given the church distinct symbols, baptism and the Lord's Supper, to mark believers as His people, just as Old Testament symbols set God's people apart. These ordinances are powerful reminders of God’s work and serve to unite believers, similar to how a simple American elm tree became a profound symbol of tragedy and resilience in Oklahoma City. The takeaway is that these sacraments are God's intended way to identify and rally His church.
