Beginning with Christ...First Steps in Walking with God.

 

Our relationship with God begins by believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose again three days later, and by confessing Him as your Lord (Romans 10:9-10).  However, this is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of walking with God.  Below are some recommended first steps:

 

Tell others what God has done for you.  It’s as simple as saying that Jesus is now the Ruler of your life and you’re living for Him because He died for you.  Invite your friends to learn about Him by coming with you to church.

 

Pick up a copy of the booklet “Beginning with Christ”.  This short booklet, available at no cost at the Outreach booth, covers five assurances from God that you can have as a follower of Jesus.

 

Attend church services weekly.  Through the weekly gathering we learn to worship together and to have a regular diet of God’s Word through the messages.

 

Connect with a small group.  Spiritual growth occurs best among a group of like-minded Christians who seek God together.  Check out the Life Group table in the foyer to find a group that best fits you.  You can get more info on Life Groups here.

 

Start reading your Bible every day.  A great place to start is the book of John.  An excellent Bible reading plan can be found here.

 

Check out the Alpha Course.  This is a 10 week class that is designed to answer all the questions you might have about Christianity in a relaxed and friendly environment. Alpha meets on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and includes a meal, a time of teaching, and a small group discussion.

 

Begin to give back.  One of the best ways to grow in Christ is by giving of our time, our gifts, and our financial resources.  Look for opportunities to serve wherever you are.  Service opportunities in the church can be found here.
