Church on Purpose: Giving
To truly understand tithing and why we do it, we first have to understand the purpose of money, whose it really is, and what it means in our lives. The truth is our views of money may not align with God’s.
Church on Purpose: Praying
Prayer really is the way you demonstrate faith in God’s Word and trust in His will. You truly cannot prioritize God’s will without praying.
Church on Purpose: Serving
Taking a deeper look at serving, reaching outward beyond ourselves. A true servant wants to please the master.
Attending Church Member
There’s something about church attendance that you can’t see, touch, taste, or smell that makes it the most powerful investment of your whole week.
Church on Purpose: Unifying
Unity and love will naturally happen when we determine, that in God’s power, we will put others before ourselves.
Church on Purpose – What is the Church?
Ekklesia literally means a gathering or an assembly, a congregation.
The Call to Abide
Abiding in Christ means our thoughts, our ways are not the truth that guides us. It’s God’s way, God’s thoughts, God’s truth that guides us.
When we hunger and thirst for the things of God, when we call on God consistently, when God’s values, ways, agenda, and plans are our desire, when we surrender, we will be abiding in Christ and we will live our call and our purpose.
Celebration Sunday: Call and Purpose
We join brothers and sisters in congregations all throughout the United States, in every state there are Global Methodist Churches. We join brothers and sisters in Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, the Philippines, Spain, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and in parts of Africa.
Membership – The Importance of Church Membership
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
Baptism – Buried with Christ
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.
