WHAT
CAN YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU VISIT US?
-
Expect
to receive a sincere and very warm welcome, an invitation to
return anytime, and an offer to study God's word with us in
order to know His plan of salvation for you.
-
Expect
a congregation that is interested in YOU and YOUR FAMILY.
Expect
to see people dressed in ordinary clothes, from suites to
jeans, from silk to cotton.
-
Expect
to find your neighbors, your child's teacher, your fellow
worker, your grocery store manager, your doctor, or any number
of different people that you could know in a variety of other
capacities.
-
Expect
to find everyday, real people who are seeking a close and
personal relationship with Jesus Christ through His teachings
in the New Testament.
-
Expect,
if interested, to be offered private, one-on-one Bible study,
to assist you in the knowledge of Christ's New Testament.
(group studies also available)
-
Expect
to hear us singing praises to the Lord . . . but don't expect
to see or hear instrumental accompaniment, for our singing is
entirely a' cappella ... Why? Jesus said in the New
Testament, "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and
spiritual songs."
-
Expect
to see us worship God in the manner in which Christ commanded
-- without deviation, because without a road map, are you sure
to arrive at your destination when you do not know the address
or location? Doubtful! Although, so many people
blindly say they will....But Christ said, "Many will say
to me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your
name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many
miracles?" But alas, it will not help them.
-
Expect
to see us remember Christ in communion each and every
Lord's Day as He commanded. For Christ broke the
bread and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do
this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after
supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the New
Covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in
remembrance of me. For whenever you eat this bread and
drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he
comes. So then, my brothers, when you come together to
eat, wait for each other." We find that this
commandment was followed throughout the New Testament
congregations established by the apostles.
-
Expect
to to hear the word of God through Christ's
New Testament being taught and preached. Jesus also said, "Ask, and it shall
be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you. If ye continue in my word, then are ye
my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free."
WHAT
WILL BE EXPECTED OF YOU WHEN YOU VISIT?
-
Absolutely
nothing but to see you arrive this coming Lord's
Day!
