CALENDAR

MISSION STATEMENT To Save Souls and to Keep the Saved Saved

DID YOU KNOW THAT 1. The Bible speaks of just one church: Read Matt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; Col. 1:18; I Cor. 12: 12-27.

2. Denominational division is contrary to the teaching of the Bible? Read: I Cor. 1:10; Phil. 3:16

3. In order to become a Christian, one must: a) Hear the gospel - Rom. 10:17; Acts 15:7 b) Believe in Christ - John 8:24; Heb. 11:6 c) Repent of sins - Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30 d) Confess faith in Christ - Matt. 10:32; Romans 10:9-10 e) Be baptized for remission of sins - Acts 2:38

4. When one obeys Christ in being baptized: a) He gets into Christ - Gal. 3:27; I Cor. 12:13 b) He is saved from his past sins - I Pet. 3:20- 21; Mark 16:15-16

Why not obey the gospel of Christ!
