Worship Service Focus Points

►God has directed the Elders to conduct our worship services as the Holy Spirit leads them.
►An important part of our spiritual lives, is to bring our cares to God in prayer.
►God has given us multiple testimonies that remind us to “hear” Jesus, and follow his gospel.
►We must be mentally prepared to “hear” Jesus, taking time to meditate and “listen”.
►The gospel of Jesus Christ has always been available to man, standing in truth and compassion.
►God has not created us to be alone. God created us to be a community, to follow His commandments.
►God has called us to love each other, as much as we love Him.
►The gospel and ministry of Jesus, can not be separated into pieces, only adhering to pieces of the gospel.
► The “True Church” and the “Living Church” can not function as separate entities.
►We, as a church, must stand in unity, loving one other, and not letting our differences keep us from realizing that Jesus was crucified to save us all.
