Growing Christians

     A great church is made up of strong Christians and strong Christian families.

    The Bible says, “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” Reading
    the Bible is vital to the Christian life. As we read the Bible, we should search the
    Scriptures, comparing Scripture with Scripture. Also, set a goal to memorize Scripture
    and meditate on the Word of God. In our personal lives and with our families each     
    day, we need to bereading the Word of God.

    We believe that God hears and answers prayer. There is no doubt about it, the
    greatest untapped resource in the Christian life is the matter of prayer. Pray each
    day. Pray for loved ones. Pray for church leaders and their families. Pray for your
    church. Pray for our nation. Pray for the lost. Establish a prayer list. Pray.

    The Lord Jesus Christ deserves your faithfulness. Attend every service of the church.
    A great deal of the strength of the church is based on the faithfulness of the people.
    Support special meetings at the church with your faithful attendance.

    God’s work is to be supported God’s way. The Bible teaches that we should pay the
    tithe and give our offerings. Practice tithing as a conviction. Bring the Lord's tithe
    with you to church each Sunday. Support the ministries of the church with offerings.
    By faith give to worldwide missions. Support the Christian education endeavors of
    the church. We cannot outgive God.

    Our Lord Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. He left us on
    earth to tell others about the Savior. Determine to bring others to the Savior. Work
    to bring other families to Christ and to the church. Set a time to go. Make a list of
    names and addresses of people you want to reach for Christ.

Determine to Be a Five-Star Christian

    This is a time when you can be a real help and encouragement to your pastor.
    May God help you to work together to see something beyond the ordinary
    accomplished for Christ through your church.
