Essentials for the Journey
Living Water's Mission:
“Be One in Christ”
Christ is the head of the body, the church. Now the body is not made up of one part but many…Now we are the body of Christ, and each one of us is part of it. There fore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, let us clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Let us bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances we may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave us. Let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, since as members of one body we have been called to peace. (Selected/adapted from Colossians1:18;3:12-13,15; 1 Corinthians 12:14,27)
Jesus says to us today, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” We will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on us; we will be Christ’s witnesses to the Las Vegas Valley, to Henderson, to the ends of the earth. Jesus comes to each one of us and says: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Jesus is with us always, even to the very end of the age. (Selected/adapted from John 20:21; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18-20)
"Build One for Christ"
Speaking the truth in love we will in all things grow up into Christ, the Head of the Church. The whole body, joined together builds itself up in love. Dear friends, let us build ourselves up in our most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Just as we received Christ Jesus as Lord, let us continue to live in Him. Let us be rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith, overflowing with thankfulness! AMEN(Selected/adapted from Ephesians 4:15-16; Jude 1:20; Colossians 2:6-7)
