The Walk

We started our Life Change series this week. It was an awesome experience with 3 new people giving their hearts to Christ with one re-dedicating their life. AWESOME! This series is based on 1 John.

To experience true Life Change we started with a walk. We are always moving so we need to find out which direction we are heading toward.

We started the walk recognizing who Jesus is. He is fully God and He is fully human. If He were not fully God that died for our sins then His death would mean no more then mine. If He was not fully human, We would not think that He could understand what we go through. the first step in our walk is to know that Jesus is who He said He was, God!

Once we know this it is up to us to admit to Him that we have been walking in darkness. God is light and there can be no fellowship between dark and light.

Next we learned that if we walk in the light, we can have fellowship with God. The Bible teaches God will cleanse us from all sin and we do not have to walk in sin, We can live sinless. You can talk with God and He will communicate with you.

To be true follower of Christ, the Bible teaches we will walk as Jesus walked. He was in the temple teaching and that shows us we should be in church. To say you are a follower of Christ and to say that you don't like church means you have your eyes on the wrong thing. How can you not love church and love God?

We are also told we will love God's people. We do that by worship on Sunday and small groups through out the week. Would you like to join with us? You are welcome!

God's power means we can not sin, but we still have a choice to make. We will be tempted (Christ was tempted) but we do not have to sin.

And the last point was if we do sin, Jesus is in heaven making sure we are forgiven. Have you asked for God's forgiveness for walking in the dark? If not do it now, ask Jesus to forgive you for yous, come and live in your life and then find a Bible preaching church.
