Marks of Discipleship

Welcome once again beloved family of God!

We want to just take a moment and thank the Lord Jesus Christ, for finding us while we were lost in our sin.  Thank God for His disciples, that obeyed in Him going forth into all the world and making disciples, preaching the Gospel, that through the ages many have come to know Christ and His Salvation.  Because of the obedience of the first disciples, who later became Apostles, we can share all that has been given to us with you.  God is good dear friends, He desires that all would repent of their sin, and turn away from it, and turn to Him for Salvation and forgiveness of sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.  There is only one way to the Father, and that is through the Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord!

It is good to be here today to share the good news of Salvation, to know that God is willing to forgive us for all the heinous things that we have done in sinning against Him, when we come to Him in Faith, in Christ alone.  Before we can get to that point though, we first need to do what the Lord has spoken, we need to do as the disciples did...go and bring others to Jesus.  It is one of the things in our Christian walk, that we probably overlook most often, sharing the Gospel with others, bringing them (As Andrew did with Peter) to Jesus.  How can someone hear the good news unless someone goes to preach it?  Let's not overlook this anymore brothers and sisters, hell is a very real place and we should all desire earnestly and obey the Lord in presenting the Gospel that sinners may not perish!  As I write this, I am just as guilty as any other, in simply letting "someone else do it, it's not my calling", except that it truly is the call to all Christians.  Fortunately for us, we serve a great and merciful God who is willing to forgive and equip us with everything we need, by His divine power, to live a godly life and preach the Gospel to others.

With all that said, we truly encourage you to watch the sermon from this last Saturday, as Pastor Scott continued in his series in John 1.  The verses for the evening were John 1:35-42, and the focus was on the marks of a true disciple, bringing others to Christ.  It was one of the first things they did actually, even though they had yet to fully understand the gravity of it all!  Pastor Scott helps us to examine ourselves in the faith, and redirects us right to the Cross, so that we too can get back on the path of bringing others to Christ.  Are you ready to come along?  Are you ready to meet the living Christ, resurrected from the dead, our Creator, God Himself?!  We are here to help in every way the Lord provides for us to do, and we earnestly seek to see you serving the Lord not only here on earth, but in Glory also.

Don't forget to visit us here on the website, to see our various services, contacts and even volunteering opportunities.  It's never to late, while we walk on this earth, to start now in surrendering our lives to Jesus, obeying Him, that we may know the true joy of life.  We hope to see you Saturday's at 7pm for worship, fellowship and a meal...and come along, tell us how Jesus changed your life!

May the Lord bless your walk by faith beloved,
