The message is titled, &amp;ldquo;Getting into the Ministry&amp;rdquo;&#10;because there are many lessons that we can learn from Jesus getting&#10;started in the ministry. We all, every one of us should be involved in&#10;ministry! I&amp;rsquo;m not talking about being a preacher, I&amp;rsquo;m talking about&#10;getting involved in the ministry of our local church.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Obedience to God</title><link>https://ricefamilyministries.com/docs/bible_outlines/misc/20251026-obedience-baptism/</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://ricefamilyministries.com/docs/bible_outlines/misc/20251026-obedience-baptism/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="responsive-video"&gt;&#10; &#10;&lt;div style="position:relative;width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%"&gt;&lt;iframe tabindex="-1" width="100%" height="100%" src="https://embed.sermonaudio.com/player/v/102825131230933/" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#10;&#10;&lt;/div&gt;&#10;&#10;&#10;October 26, 2025 - AM&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h1 id="obedience-to-god"&gt;&#10; Obedience to God&#10; &lt;a class="anchor" href="#obedience-to-god"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&#10;&lt;/h1&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Acts 8:26-39&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Introduction&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Our passage this morning is probably the most clear passage exemplifying baptism in all the Bible! There are other passages that discuss baptism, but this one is very clear.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="i--the-soulwinner-philip"&gt;&#10; I.
