So we first walk the bridge and experience life Christ gives us, without those divisions. Ephesians 2:14-18

Matthew 6:5-15

the Church Podcast

Focus: As disciples follow Jesus we learn to Love from Love incarnate. As we Obey Christ, we learn how to obey God. We learn our Purpose as we follow Christ’s mission and He sends us out. And as Christ gathers us together and sends us out together with that common purpose we experience being part of Christ’s Team. The result is that disciples are Visible Reflections of Jesus. Matthew 7:24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” John 13:12-17
