Pastor Ben Kingston expands upon the last line of our Bethel Approach and encourages us to love and care for one another.

“Church – we have a biblical responsibility to love and care for one another. The Church is a body, we all belong to one another. If we lose this, then we can be the greatest missionaries but we will lose our reputation. Jesus said, “by this shall men know that you are my disciples, if you show love one to another.””

1. The leaders subject themselves to the needs of the flock.
2. Followers subject yourself to the leaders.
3. Be subject to God in Spiritual Warfare.

What is baptism? Is it still important? Are we practicing baptism in the right way? Pastor Ben Kingston teaches us the importance of baptism. Our scripture today is Matthew 3:13-17

What does baptism not do? It does not save you. It does not wash your sins away.

What does it take to have a scriptural new testament baptism?
Proper candidate – already be saved
Proper mode – full immersion
Proper authority – the church
Proper administrator – whoever the church authorizes.

What is Baptism? Immersion, Ceremony, Symbolism, and Identification

Why be baptized? Jesus submitted to it and it shows complete surrender

Pastor Ben Kingston shares that kindness in love in action. If patience is how love reacts in order to minimize a negative circumstance, kindness is how love acts to maximize a positive circumstance. Patience avoids the problem; kindness creates a blessing.

Love makes you kind, and kindness makes you likeable. When you are kind, people want to be around you. They see you as good to them and good for them.
