In Mathew 28:19 Jesus sends his disciples to make discipkes of all Nations and this is what we are about. This Sunday we celebrated two steps in discipleship baptism and Covenant membership. In this sermon Pastor Raphael explains the gospel, the need for baptism, and how as  believers we should engage with baptism. He also covers how teaching and observing what Christ commands happens best in the context of covenant membership.

As we prepare for believer’s baptism there are many questions to be answered on what baptism is and its significance in the Christian life. Baptism says something about God’s faithfulness, our sonship to Him and our union with Christ and his Church. We hope you have a Great week.

At City church, we are a church planting church, this means that we will help asses, coach, train and support church planters and church planting efforts all over the world. Today we had Winston Coltart who wants to plant a church in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. He is a Westminster Seminary graduate who is about to start a year-long church planting residency in Nashville, TN and plans to be back in Zimbabwe and to begin planting efforts.

This is the last message in the book of Ruth, which is all about the God moving us from emptiness to fullness. He did it for Boaz, Ruth and Naomi and he does that for us today through Jesus Christ by his providence. To be constantly aware of His work in our lives we need to meditate on Providence the fact that God cares, loves and rules even in tragic circumstances.
