This week (11/24/24) we’ll continue our series in the Gospel of Matthew with the story of the baptism of Jesus from Matthew 3:13-17 (CSB.)
THE BAPTISM OF JESUS
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to stop him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?”
15 Jesus answered him, “Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John allowed him to be baptized.
16 When Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water. The heavens suddenly opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased.”

Our Vision
Mustard Tree Baptist Church is a collaborative effort between Minnesota and Mississippi Baptists to plant a Southern Baptist church in Duluth.
Our vision is to:
1) Glorify God: in obedience and worship.
2) Go: with the love of Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
3) Grow: in faith, knowledge, and the fruit of the Spirit.
If you’re interested in becoming a part of this new church plant or if you just have questions we’d love to hear from you.
