And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them…” Matthew 5:1-2 The Lord calls us to come up the mountain, to sit before Him, and hear Him. It’s in this process by which we grow in the Lord and are equipped by the Holy Spirit, who resides in our hearts, to overcome the pressures and trials of this present life, and become more and more like Jesus (Rom. 8:29). By responding to the Holy Spirit’s promptings we examine our thoughts, words and actions and compare them with the Word of God. John 15 tells us that we become fruitful only as we abide in Him and His Word abides in us through studying, praying, and obeying. We, as His disciples, are to arise and shine as a yielded witness of His love, mercy, and glory (Is.60:1). “Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end.” Ps. 119:33 Coming together to “dig into God’s Word”. • Sunday School ~ Solid Rocks (Adult Class) – meeting in the Adult Gathering Room from 9:00-9:50 a.m. Timely topics taught by appointed seasoned teachers... as announced Children Discipleship – Children are dismissed during the service to go to age-appropriate discipleship Bible classes.
