NOV. 9 - Being a Church Member

The basic expectations of being a Christian involve what you
  • believe (see John 20:31)
  • say (see Romans 10:10)
  • experience (see Romans 12:2)
  • do (see James 2:17)

Being a church member involves three dimensions:
  • UNIVERSAL church
  • DENOMINATIONAL church
  • LOCAL church

We are asked to be loyal to Christ through the United Methodist Church in five ways - by our:
  • Prayer (see Ephesians 6:18-19)
  • Presence (see Hebrews 10:25)
  • Gifts (see 1 Corinthians 16:2)
  • Service (see 1 Peter 4:10)
  • Witness (see Acts 1:8)
