Volume 40 Number 11 March 12, 2017

Christians

“And the disciples were called Christians first in Anti-

och” (Acts 11:26). What comes into your mind when your hear the

word “Christian?” It often means one thing to one person and some-

thing entirely different to someone else. In today’s society there are

hyphenated “Christians” depending upon what particular religious

body you happen to claim. The bible knows no such thing. Again, to-

day the name is applied to all religious people who claim to follow the

teachings of Christ. But some who claim to follow His teachings are

picking and choosing which they want to follow and which are

“alright” to ignore.

Used only three times in the Bible (Acts 11:26, 26:28, I Pet.

4:16), the word “Christian” speaks to a close relationship with

Christ our Lord”. Wearing the name Christian places us into the fam-

ily of God where we live and work together with one heart and one

soul. It is truly a most excellent, noble and majestic name by which

to be known. Being a Christian involves a host of things, a few of

which are: following God’s instructions (Matt. 7:21, John 14;15), stud-

ying God’s word (II Tim. 2:15; Acts 17:11), being a light to the world

(Matt. 5:16), being nar row (Matt. 7:13-16). Let’s do more than say

we are Christians, let’s be Christians!

It is an honor to have you join us in worship at the

Northside Church of Christ! Our mission is to save

souls and to help souls stay saved. We extend our

sincere love towards you and we encourage you to take

advantage of the opportunity to have a bible study with

members who are eager to study with you. If you do not

share our like faith, this bible study, as well as your visit

today, offers a two way opportunity: (1) We have the

chance to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ and

the essential steps to salvation. (2) You have the chance

to hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized where-

by being added to the Church of Christ. We welcome

you to investigate what you hear and see today. You

will be able to ask your biblical questions and receive

biblical answers that will guide you to make an in-

formed, life changing decision. Thank you for being our

special guest! Please come again.

Did You Tell Someone About Jesus?

Matt. 28:19-20 is the great

commission given to members of

the body of Christ. As Christians,

it is our responsibility to Tell,

Talk and Teach others about

Jesus. Telling someone about

Christ will often open the door to

Talk with them about Him. You

can then Teach them or invite

them to Church where they can be

taught. We encourage each Chris-

tian to take advantage of such

opportunities. If you know of a

prospect, and for some reason

cannot conduct a personal Bible

study, please give their contact

information to Bro. and/or Sis.

Oliver or to one of our Leaders.
