The greatest thing about giving God our whole life in worship is that through worship and God’s love in us everything else and every other person in our lives will receive the love of God through us as well.

3. Back To The Basics - Fellowship
Contributed on Sep 28, 2017
Without others around us to encourage us, teach us, and to interact with us how would we ever know to be better than we are? Why would we want to improve and be a better person? However, other people don’t always improve us.
Back to the Basics Fellowship ME Some of the best times I have had in my life have been when I was involved with playing fast pitch softball. It was a sport that I absolutely loved.

5. Back To The Basics - Discipling
Contributed on Sep 28, 2017
Discipling is a process over time that involves many different people, many different settings and situations. And discipling generally begins in small groups and moves to the larger groups. Sometimes as small of groups as two people as it did with me.
Back to the Basics - Discipling ME As I sat down at my computer this week with thoughts of Discipling on my mind I could not help but think about my own. My own journey and the discipling of received as I become a Christian and after. When I was growing up my dad tried to be a good role ...read more

Contributed on Sep 28, 2017
Why are their disagreements concerning baptism? There should be agreement. The scripture is clear concerning the need for baptism. Let's look at the basics of baptism.
Back to the Basics - Baptism ME It was in April 1986 that I was baptized by immersion of my own choice into Christ Jesus.

7. 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.

Contributed on Sep 28, 2017
Giving to the church is a very basic part of Christianity. Giving should be from the heart, thought about before hand, should be done willingly. After this sermon our church stopped passing the offering plates for offering.
