Teach... baptize... teach again

Learn... apply... grow!

We often say that “Christianity is a ‘taught religion.’”  This means that we become a Christian by being taught the gospel.  We grow as Christians by learning more about Jesus Christ and the Bible and then applying it to our lives.

Matthew 28:18-20 says, “18And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

We make disciples by teaching.  After a person becomes a disciple, we teach again to observe all that the Lord commanded.  We teach, baptize, and teach again.  This is why we have Bible classes. This is why we emphasize teaching in classes and sermons.

Today, we have so many online resources available to help us in our spiritual journey.  I have put several of these resources together below with a bit about them.  These are done by people within the brotherhood of the church.  Why not use your time to deepen your understanding of a Bible subject?  Maybe you can use these to teach someone else to help them on their spiritual journey.  Maybe these would be beneficial for you, your children, and your family.

Please consider putting these links on your Facebook page from time to time regularly.

Of course, because these videos and articles are a work of people, I cannot endorse 100% of everything on them.  The only thing I can endorse 100% is the Bible.
