Sleeping with the enemy

pastorjosh — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:41:50 +0000

Welcome and join us as Pastor Josh presents the relationship that all people in this world have to encounter everyday, all day. This relationship is alive and well whether you are a Christian or non Christian. For the Christian it is not greater than ones relationship with God but seeks to be larger. For the non Christian it is already established.

Go…

pastorjosh — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:45:24 +0000

The third step to the Discipleship Process at The Dwelling Place

is to “go” in Christ. When you have come to “know” Christ and then

you begin to “grow” in Christ, you are then able to “go” in Christ. This

step in the process is not the end all and not something that you have

to achieve, but yet it is the step when you take what God is doing and

you go back and reinvest it into others, and you “go” and be Christ to

the world. At The Dwelling Place, we “go” in Christ by: participating in

missions, doing community service, teaching others, being an excellant

witness for Christ and the list continues on. To learn more about what

it means to “go” in Christ, contact our offices to schedule a meeting with

one of our staff members.
