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.
Once upon a time, I led a group studying the book of Job. It turned out that, the more we dug into the book, the less we enjoyed it. It’s not like the Psalms, where you study one, finish it, and turn to another one. Job is essentially a long argument between the main character and three of his friends, with appearances later from a fourth friend and, at the very end, from God.
The people who study such things tell us that most people they’ve asked have said they want sermons that offer concrete ways we can apply a particular message to our lives. So, in the interest of giving the people what they want, I offer this:
