The New Life Begins Here
Show notes
Hello and a very warm welcome to the Excel Church podcast. We’re so glad you’ve joined us, and wherever you’re listening from today, we pray this message encourages you in your walk with Jesus.
In today’s message, Pastor Dek Dudfield shares a word from Galatians 2:20:
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”
Speaking on a special day of baptism and celebration at Excel Church, Pastor Dek reminds us that choosing to follow Jesus and being baptised isn't the end of the journey — it's the beginning.
Through Galatians 2:20 and 2 Corinthians 5:17, we explore what it means for the old life to be crucified and for a new life in Christ to begin. And from Ephesians 2:10, we're reminded that we have been created in Christ Jesus for good works — called not simply to believe, but to grow, serve and make ourselves available for everything God has for us.
Whether you've followed Jesus for many years, have recently made that decision, or you're still exploring faith, this message asks an important question:
Who's living your life — you, or Jesus?
We pray you're encouraged and challenged as you listen to today's message, “The New Life Begins Here.”
