The Building Series - Building A Relationship with God

   

Listen as Pastor Rick "builds" on the Nehemiah Series with more "building" ideas.  We begin the series with this one, about building a relationship with God.

"We know that we need a strong Christian experience as individuals, but how do we do that?  We know that we need strong Christian homes, but how do we build them?  We know that we need strong marriages, strong parent-children relationships, and strong churches, but how do we build them.  This new series focuses a little more on the details."

3 W's

"...living as disciples of Christ, today I want to consider three W’s of discipleship in our homes:
Constant Ways
Gentle Words
Available Wisdom."


Listen as Pastor Rick discusses further methods of discipleship for our homes and families.

A Disciple of Christ

"To become a disciple of Christ is a serious matter.  It is far more than a little prayer and handshake with a preacher.  It is more than an emotional baptism experience captured on video.  It is more than taking communion on a Sunday.  True discipleship is far more than a feel-good idea or brief ritual.  Discipleship demands abandonment of oneself to the Savior and His way.  In fact it is a continual living expression of devotion to the first commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before Me."


Listen as Pastor Rick shares principles of discipleship from the words of Jesus Himself.
