Like most Christians, Disciples Affirm:
Open Communion
The Lord’s Supper, or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship. It is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Freedom of belief
Disciples are called together around one essential of faith: belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Persons are free to follow their consciences guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit study and prayer, and are expected to extend that freedom to others.
Baptism by immersion
In baptism the old self-centered life is set aside, and a new life of trust in God begins. Although Disciples practice baptism by immersion, other baptism traditions are honored.
Belief in the oneness of the church
All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
The ministry to believers
Both ministers and lay persons lead in worship, service and spiritual growth.
In 1607, a group from England came to North America and established a colony in what is now the state of Virginia. They named it after their king: Jamestown. When they got there, the area was a wilderness, and if they were going to be able to live there, a lot of work needed to be done.
Our theme for this summer is “things everybody believes are in the Bible, but aren’t.” And what we’re looking at today doesn’t entirely fit that theme. We just heard it in a passage from the Gospel of John. I included it not because it isn’t in the Bible, but because the way it’s often interpreted isn’t in keeping with how it’s used in the Bible.
