Keeping our Simplicity in Christ
2 Corinthians 11:1-4
Simplicity and Purity
2 Cor 11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ (from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ)..
The battle for the mind..
Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
The message is clear..
We want to help everyone follow Jesus..
Salvation through the gospel
Lead them to spiritual maturity
Prepare every Christian to serve


We follow Jesus..
Personally – as Lord and Christ
Intimately – through worship
Devoutly – through spiritual growth
Lovingly – in service
Mightily – in restoring His church
This is Christ’s church..
Through worship, prayer, and meditation we draw close to God and each other..
We gain strength, find comfort, and rejoice in our victories..
The church is here to serve Christ and help you reach maturity in Christ..
