The Local Church Podcast Sermon: To Fulfill All Righteousness | Baptism of the Lord Sunday // Brent Levy
Date
January 11, 2026
Synopsis
In this sermon, we dive into the disruptive power of Jesus’s baptism, revealing how it offers a new imagination for how we see the world. Jesus steps into the water to redefine righteousness—it’s not about maintaining purity or order, but about radical solidarity that shatters systems of control and exclusion. By claiming our first, revolutionary name as Beloved, we embody a vision in which justice flows like a river and are empowered to take a bold next step toward the healing of God’s world.
