Rediscovering Discipleship

 

Jesus gave us a commission before he left his disciples.  It is known as the GREAT COMMISSION.  For those who may not be familiar with it, look it up in Matthew 28:19. It reads, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

 

Have you ever wondered what makes this commission GREAT? 

 

It could be GREAT because it is such an awesome and daunting task.  Perhaps it's GREAT because it's not accomplished easily or quickly. Read more.

West Henrietta Baptist Church

Our church worships in the town's oldest church building, but the congregation is older than its 1838 building. It's older than its 1818 town! At 202, West Henrietta Baptist Church is linked to its past by more than 10,500 successive Sundays. Those links are solid. Horse and buggies may have yielded to SUVs and sedans. The organ is now electric and the replacement pews are padded. But it is very likely that any congregations switched in time would still feel at home in the little white church on the corner.

Of course, a returning old-timer might ask 'Where are the babies, the kids, the young men and women courting and the growing families?' If he ventured to look for them in the basement classrooms, he would find those rooms filled with musty art supplies and waiting storybooks, left just as they were by occupants who grew up and moved away. Was that not just yesterday?
