COLONY Howard Reiter gave the Communion meditation on The Struggle Sunday at Colony Christian Church.
Paul was beaten, arrested, run out of town, etc., and yet he remained steadfast in proclaiming Gods word, Reiter said.
The Bible tells us that we as Christians will face struggles. Those struggles are to bring us, and others, closer to God and to advance His kingdom.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave the sermon on The First Church: Bold and Encouraging. In the first church, all believers were united in heart and mind, they shared all that they had with others. They shared their teaching, their meals and prayers. Jesus prays that we will all be one, just as God and Jesus are one.
