Our Impact Leadership Training group last spring was studying the course Learning to Serve. During one of our Zoom MeetUps someone said that serving is like being the "boots on the ground" for Jesus. It stuck with me.
We're kicking off the fall with a series named just that: Boots on the Ground. All of our messages will revolve around one primary theme - what does it mean to be the body of Christ, his boots on the ground, so to speak?
First up, I've invited Pastor Del to set the stage with the FOUNDATION of it all - the literal body of Christ, broken for us on the cross, remembered and proclaimed during communion (1 Corinthians 11:26).
Then, we'll be looking at the FORM, FUNCTION and FUSION of Church as He lives in and works through us as His body.
Through the month of September I'm going to set you up with a study each week that will help you both prepare for Sundays and deepen your understanding of biblical teaching about the Body, the gifts of the Spirit, and how it all works in our lives and as a church family.
To begin, linked below is a chapter from First Steps that teaches about the foundation of communion (and water baptism). For the full course, head over to our NEXT page to download or request a hard copy.
I'm really looking forward to digging into these passages with you this month!
Together in Christ,
Pastor Tracy
