Most people assume that water baptism is something that Christians should still practice today, but they certainly don’t agree as to who, how, or why it should be practiced. The Apostle Paul, our apostle for this present dispensation of grace, declares in Ephesians 4:3-6 that one aspect of the unity of the Spirit is that there is only one baptism. In this brief series, we examine what Paul meant by this and how it affects our understanding of the place of baptism in God’s purpose for His people.
These Bible messages on the One Baptism were preached by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2006-2007 during the morning worship services at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Waiting on the Lord
No one likes to have to wait, but the truth is, we actually spend a lot of our time waiting: in traffic, at the bank, in doctor's offices, etc. We need to learn to wait patiently upon the Lord, realizing He often brings waiting periods into our lives to work out His purpose. In this message we look at how two different men responded to waiting situations: the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David. King Saul, in 1 Samuel 13, provides a negative example of a man who did not wait on the Lord, and had the throne taken from him. In David, we see a positive example of the man who was anointed of God to be king of Israel in Saul's place, but had to wait patiently 14 years before he was given the throne.
