Living Our Lives in Jesus - In this message we focus on the importance of living our lives for Jesus. The message will stress the importance of living – rally living for Jesus as our Lord rather than merely existing –or- sliding through our lives. God challenges us to remember how we received Christ Jesus as our Lord so that we will keep on growing in our obedience to Him as Lord. We will hear and think about three vital actions that will take place within us when we are genuinely living for Jesus as Lord. All this will prepare us to celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper together.
