Now that you have trusted the death of Jesus Christ as payment for your sins, you should be looking to know more about your salvation. The Apostle Peter, when speaking to a mixed audience in AD 64, encouraged them to view themselves as newborn babies that were hungry for the Word of God just as a newborn hungers for milk, so that they would mature in their salvation (1 Pet 2:2). It is vitally important that Christians, new or old, consistently avail themselves to three spiritual disciplines—prayer, study, and fellowship.

 

PRAYER

For true Christians, prayer [Gk: “proseuche”] is communion with God. Through prayer we actually experience relationship with God. The quality of our prayer life then determines the quality of our relationship with God. Prayer is talking with God. Prayer is listening to God. Prayer is enjoying the presence of God. It can take many forms – for example: worship, confession, thanksgiving, praise, petition (asking for things), waiting (silent, listening and sensing of God) and warfare (command).

STUDY

Christians have the responsibility of studying the Bible, which is God’s Word to humanity, in order to live in a way that is comparable to God’s choosing them. (2 Tim 2:15; Eph 4:1)

 

 

FELLOWSHIP

The sharing and regular gathering of a group of Christians for the purposes of worshipping God and serving one another is fellowship. This is a necessary element in the Christian growth process and functions as evidence of our relationship with Jesus Christ. (1 Jn 1:7).

 

In conclusion…

While committing to these three disciplines alone will greatly enhance your spiritual journey, we also strongly recommend becoming a member of a local Christian assembly.

 

Are you a Christian who is convinced of the need to connect…

to a vibrant and growing local church body?  Perhaps you are looking to passionately engage church life and utilize the spiritual gifts God has uniquely given you. If either of these describes you, we invite you to become a member of the APOSTOLIC HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH BIBLEWAY CHURCH family. Just simply fill out the Membership form, return it to us, and one of our Decision Counselors will contact you for an appointment.

 

After your appointment, you will then be invited by one of our New Members team leaders to attend a comprehensive Saturday session, where you will be instructed in our statement of faith, church polity, and connected to a specific church ministry, all in one day! These sessions are held bi-monthly on 1st and 3rd Saturdays.
