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.
Last week we learned about Joseph’s first job when he was taken to Egypt as a slave. He was pretty much in charge of the household of Potiphar, captain of Pharaoh’s guard; but after an unfortunate incident involving Potiphar’s wife—and in which Joseph appears to have been completely innocent—he gets thrown in jail, where, again, he prospers.
We preachers can sometimes be a bit pedantic. I don’t mean all preachers are grammar sticklers like I am, so that it sets all our teeth on edge if someone uses “less” when they should use “fewer.” No, we can be pedantic about how people talk about God, what should be said in prayer, that kind of thing.
