Sharing the gospel and discipling friends, family & others
|
Our Basic Discipleship class is a great way to share the gospel (lesson one) and disciple others in the basics of Christianity. Our Discipleship 101 class has five lessons that allows an individual or couple to disciple others in person or via online video chat. All the notes are self-explanatory and available for download from our website. You’ll be surprised at how many people you already know (family, friends, co-workers etc.) who may be open to sitting with you over coffee and going through the course. Just pray about it...then ask them...set the dates and do it! You don’t even need to live near each other... since you could even do it via online chat!
If they are out of town, be sure to point them to a good church in their area afterwards! Lesson 1: What is the Gospel? Lesson 2: What actually happens at Salvation? Lesson 3: What is Baptism all about? Lesson 4: Can a person lose Salvation? Lesson 5: How important is it to persevere in the faith?

KARM & Corners of your Field

If you have lived in Knoxville for just a little while you should be familiar with KARM stores - The Knox Area Rescue Mission.
What you may not know is: “Corners of your Field” is a Church partnership opportunity with KARM. Whenever you donate anything to KARM you can do it in the name of our church. Our church earns credits which are turned into KARM store gift cards sent to us. We use these gift cards to help others in need. “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field or gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger.” – Lev. 23:22 More info: https://karm.org/corners-of-your-field |
