When we take up our cross and follow Him to death, we participate in the triumphal procession of Christ, who brought peace and reconciliation with God.
Only in the preeminent Christ, the Lord of All, can we live a life of substance that glorifies Him.
God in Jesus is the primary Actor in all of history, therefore to believe in anything other than Jesus Christ is to miss out on the greatest experience of existence, life itself.
A heart for Christ generates a heart to sacrifice for the salvation of others, to present them complete in Christ, because God’s mystery is now revealed in Christ, resulting in all believers standing confident in Christ.
The responsibility of proclaiming and defending the gospel of the preeminent Christ, is a burden to be carried with joy and care.
Because Christ is preeminent over all things and is God, live faithfully and joyfully in Him.
Because Jesus is preeminent over all things, we can rest secure in his kingdom.
The ordination of Ethan Horner, as an Elder of FBC.
The Overseer/Elder/Pastors of God’s flock are held accountable by fellow elders, the church, and ultimately the Chief Shepherd, Christ himself.
The God-given way pastors shepherd God’s flock is by faithfully teaching God’s Word.
Jesus, the head of the Church, has given overseer/elder/pastors to his church to care for their souls as undershepherds. As such, he has called and qualified these men to serve the church he created.
We begin this new series by taking time to rediscover the true church created by God.
As Christians, we resolve to be more like Christ every day, laying aside the old self and putting on the new, which is created in God’s likeness!
