Before the paint goes on, we covered these walls in something far more important. ❤️

This morning, members of our church family wrote Scripture and prayers on the Sheetrock throughout our new building. Soon these words will be covered by paint, but we’ll always know they’re there — tucked inside the walls of the classrooms, gym, hallways, and spaces where ministry will happen for years to come.

We’re not just building a building. We’re praying over the lives that will walk through its doors and building on the foundation of God’s Word. 🏠📖

“Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted.” — Psalm 127:1

**“You can be baptized until every tadpole in the creek knows your Social Security number”—but does baptism make you a Christian?**

Pastor Ollin Collins tackles that question head-on in this week's message at The Bay Community Church.

What does baptism really mean? What does it mean to be saved? Is believing in God enough? And if you've spent years thinking, *“I'm pretty sure I'm saved…”* can you actually **know**?

This message moves from baptism to repentance, salvation and one of the most important questions any of us can answer: **Where do I stand with Jesus Christ?**

Pastor Ollin also shares a powerful illustration about a man who decided it was time to **“drive a stake in the ground”** and settle the question once and for all.

What if being “born again” means far more than going to Heaven someday—what if it means learning an entirely new way to live right now?

Jesus said, “No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” — John 3:3

But what does being born again actually look like after we give our lives to Christ?

In this week's message, “Born Again,” Pastor Ollin Collins explains that entering God's Kingdom is a little like moving to a completely new country. Suddenly there are new values, new priorities, and a new way of looking at life.

The world says get. Jesus says give.The world says fight to be first. Jesus says the last will be first.The world measures greatness by what we have and accomplish. God looks at faithfulness, surrender, and obedience.

And perhaps most importantly, salvation isn't awarded according to a scoreboard of good works. It is God's gift of grace.

Being born again is only the beginning. God wants to transform the way we think, live, love, forgive, serve—and ultimately who we become.

▶️ Watch “Born Again” and discover what it means to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom.
