Today we will wrap up our series “Next Steps.” We have learned that every Christian and every church has a next step in their faith. Today, we will focus on our fourth key purpose for our church as we seek to fulfill our mission of making disciples. In a few minutes, Pastor Stan will be sharing about how you have a spiritual gift to be used in serving God and His church.

Every church and every Christian is either moving forward or retreating. God has called us to move forward and trust in His faithfulness. In a few minutes Pastor Stan will continue the discussion of the core purposes of our church. We will learn how important it is that we are connected as the body of Christ.

God is calling you individually, and He is calling our church to take the next step. In a few minutes Pastor Stan will kick off this series by looking at a key moment for the nation of Israel when God challenged them to take the next step.
