Going Into Battle
Contributed on Sep 28, 2017
But the church today isn’t living in power, it isn’t going into to battle and we have a hard time obeying Jesus. Even Christians dislike each other and sometimes even hate each other. Even Christians would rather do worldly things rather than Godly thin

Back To The Basics - Communion
Contributed on Sep 28, 2017
Communion is another basic of the church. It is renewing the New Covenant within us every time we take it. It is proclaiming the Lord's death until He comes back. It is uniting with other Christians with one mind and one heart.
Back to the Basics - Communion ME When I was growing up most of you know I went to the Lutheran Church. For those who have been here I’ve talked about that several times.
