Back to Basics… Back to Jesus…

This past Sunday, we began by listening to the Word being read about out great Creator in Genesis chapter one. We sang “This is My Father’s World.” We said aloud the Apostles’ Creed, together affirming our faith in God our Creator, Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit who abides in each believer. Then we sang “Holy, Holy, Holy” to worship the Trinity on Trinity Sunday.

Reverend Albright spoke about the unity of the body and the peace we receive in the body as we are connected with God through Jesus.

Unity: Oneness of mind, feeling, etc., as among a number of persons; concord, harmony, or agreement. In my words: A coming together with one divining Spirit for the common good.

Reminded of Corinth — a church in turmoil — who received a letter from Paul instructing them to go back to the basics. Belief in God, His Son Jesus Christ, the ultimate sacrifice for sin out of His love for us, and the need to stick together in fellowship with other believers to spread the gospel, make disciples and enjoy the peace only experienced as followers of Jesus.
