Why Do Christians Take Communion and Get Baptized? | Mark 14:12-25 | Kevin Queen 

Released March 2, 2026 by Cross Point Church with Pastor Kevin Queen

 

What if one of the most common questions about Christianity is also one of the most misunderstood? In Mark 14:12–25, we step into one of the most significant nights in history; a private dinner that changed everything. What Jesus said and did in that room still shapes millions of lives today. 



In this message we will discover that Baptism is not about earning salvation. It’s about obedience. We will be encouraged to build our faith on surrender, rather than technicalities and we will learn that Jesus doesn’t just forgive our sin, He gives us a brand new identity.



This message tackles the tension many of us quietly wrestle with; that gap between belief and obedience. Between cultural Christianity and real surrender. Between technicalities… and transformation. Pastor Kevin Queen helps us see that this isn’t about two ancient rituals, it’s a question of whether we are building our faith on loopholes, or trust.
