SERMONS

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man
of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
-- 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Next Step
  • What’s something you expect to happen when go to church on Sundays?
  • What are some things churches divide over?
  • Under what circumstances is it appropriate, or good, to leave a church?
  • Why is it impossible to be Christians apart from the body of Christ?
  • How can our focus on Christ in worship set us apart in our world that’s  so divided?
  • Is there anyone, or a group of people, you’ve slighted or rejected in fellowship?
  • ​How can you repent or be reconciled to them?
  • Please pray for the unity of First Baptist Church Elma that Christ may be known and glorified through us.
