  3. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35

  4. Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household. • Acts 16:31 • John 3:16 • John 14:6 • Ephesians 2:8-9 What must I do to be saved? Acts 16:30

  5. What does it mean to be a Christian? • The word Christian is from the Greek word christianos(“like the Anointed” or “follower of the Anointed” or “follower of the Christ”) • In Antioch the disciples were first called Christians. (Acts 11:26) • Believers in Jesus were first called followers of the Way (Acts 9:2; 19:9,23; 24:14,22)

  7. Do I have to go to church to be a Christian? Well…

  8. Can you “be like Jesus” or “follow the way” of Jesus alone?

  9. Solitary religion is not to be found there. “Holy solitaries” is a phrase no more consistent with the gospel than Holy Adulterers. The gospel of Christ knows of no religion, but social; no holiness but social holiness. Faith working by love, is the length and breadth and depth and height of Christian perfection. John Wesley

  10. Hebrews 10:23-25 23 Let’s hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, because the one who made the promises is reliable.

  15. Contribute our spiritual gifts for the good of the whole body of Christ • 1 Corinthians 12:1-31 • Ephesians 4:11-16 • 1 Peter 4:10-11 • Romans 12:3-8

  16. Better understand Scripture • Accountability • Baptism and Holy Communion • Primary model through which God established to offer Christ to the world (Matthew 28:16-20).

  17. Do I have to go to church to be a Christian? Like asking what’s the minimum I can do and still be a Christian.
