How Does the Baptist Church Help You Grow with the Bible?

“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.” -Thessalonians 3:12-13

Your spiritual life needs nourishment to grow. There is a possibility that if you will not feed your soul, you can be like the earth when it is not watered. You too will turn barren and dry. Somehow, in turn makes you desperate in searching for nourishment. One of the ways God provides for our soul is through words and this can be found in only in the Bible. Who can guide you through the living words of the Bible? The Baptist Church. This means that the Bible speaks through us here – in our relation to the Purcellville Baptist Church. The Bible via the Baptist Church is God’s way of communicating to us! This is where He communicates His will through our lives. A spiritual refreshment which can only be nurtured as the Baptist Church shares to us their understanding of the Bible. If you let the Baptist Church and their teachings in, you will renewal and guidance – if you let it in.

The Baptist Church lets you grow with other people of the same faith

“The opening of Your words gives light, imparting understanding to the simple.” (Psa. 119:130)

Such a rich presence of God’s word will greatly affect your Christian life with other members of the congregation. It will fill your heart with grace which brings the enjoyment of God. Remember this, God’s word enlightens you and your fellow churchgoers. When the word of God comes, the first thing it does is bring light into your inner being.

The Baptist Church makes the word of God become food that nourishes

“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” (John 6:27)

This is not like eating physical food because God’s words are not limited to helping improve physical strength. God’s words are spiritual food. It is the water, milk, bread, and meat of your spiritual life. It’s everything you need for sustenance. If you want to grow as you should as a Christian -- feed on God's word! Lastly, the word of God is unlike the words that come from the mouth of men. Because the latter may speak a lot of things and still nothing happens. But when God speaks, you become a vessel that creates and a vessel that accomplishes.

As a remainder, the next time that you are in a public place, look at the faces of the people around you. As you look you will see many who seem to have no happiness in their heart, for the face doesn’t show it. Would the God that created us, created us not to enjoy life?

Isaiah 45:22-23, NIV, “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

Romans 8:26, NIV, “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” Dear God, let your Holy Spirit descend upon us all and over the whole world. To guide and enlighten our paths as we walk this earth toward your Kingdom in heaven. To uncover the greatness of your power before our mortal eyes. You are our King and our God. Let your holy infiniteness reign in every heart of your people since your ways and thoughts are higher than ours. Our King and our God, send your Holy Spirit so that we may see our own weakness and help us put them into prayers. We lift our hands and yearning hearts to you, Father, we ask for your blessing through your Holy Spirit and your son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Ways That Serving the Baptist Church Can Change You

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. -Hebrews 10:24-25 A churchgoer is not meant just to go to Manassas Baptist Church on days of obligation. Perhaps you’re still finding your way and where you feel called to serve, and that’s fine. But don’t let it take years of your life to figure out. Attending church is a blessing, and serving in any ministry is vital, no matter what you’re doing. And it’s not about feeling good or better about yourself; getting involved with church is just about desiring to serve God and His people. Serving in a Baptist Church increases one’s faith Through serving, God gave me a front row seat to seeing Him change people’s lives. That sounds a bit dramatic, but it’s true. One way to increase your faith is to read the Word of God (the Bible).  Romans 10:17 says, “Consequ
