We hope you will be able to participate with us as we glorify God in worship and service in beautiful Sun City West, Arizona (Isa. 43:7; Ps. 50:23; 1 Cor. 6:20; Matt. 4:10).
We endeavor to follow the New Testament pattern as we worship God on Sunday, the first day of the week (Mt. 28:1; Acts 20:7; Rev. 1:10). Our acts of worship are as follows:
- Prayers will be offered to our Father in heaven, through the resurrected Jesus Christ. Jesus now reigns over His kingdom, the church, from heaven (Mt. 6:9; 1 Tim. 2:5; Rm. 8:34; Jn. 18:36; Col. 1:13,14; Rev. 1:6; 3:21).
- The singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs from the heart to praise God and edify one another will occur throughout the worship period. Man made musical instruments will not be used. It is the way the first century church worshipped God.
Each participant in the worship is encouraged to praise God in this way (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16,17; Heb. 13:15).
- The Lord’s Supper will be served. It will consist of unleavened bread (a cracker-like composition) and the fruit of the vine (unfermented grape juice). Every Christian is encouraged to participate as we give thanks and remember our Lord as
He instructed (Mt. 26:26-28; 1 Cor. 11:23-24, 25-26, 27-29; Acts 20:7).
- An opportunity to contribute monetarily is provided for the members of the congregation. Visitors or non-members are not asked to contribute to the local work of the church. If you choose to contribute it will be entirely your choice (1 Cor. 16:1-2; Acts 20:35; 2 Cor. 8:12; 2 Cor. 9:7).
- Listening to the word of God being preached offers opportunity for encouragement, hope, faith building, exhortation, instruction in righteousness and rebuke. “Amens!” are welcome and encouraged. Christianity results from teaching publically and privately.
You may also request a free personal Bible study. (Acts 20:20; Rm. 1:15-16; 2 Tim. 4:2; Ps. 106:48; Rev. 22:21).
- At the end of many services contrite believers are encouraged to obey the gospel just like they did in response to the faith, the truth, during the first century when Christianity first started from Jerusalem (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; Acts 6:7; Mt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15-16; Lk. 24:46-47;
Rm. 1:16; 2 Thess. 1:8; 1 Pet. 4:17). We hope you will come to hear the message.
The tie that binds congregations of the Lord and Christians together is a common allegiance to Christ and the Bible. We are not a perfect people, but our Savior is, and we are endeavoring to perfect holiness in the fear of the Lord as we serve Him. Our goal is to be steadfast, immovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord. Will you join us in this noble endeavor? We hope so and look forward to your visit ( 2 Cor. 7:1; 1 Cor. 15:57-58; 1 Pet. 2:5,9).
