Themes: Psalms. When you do a responsive reading, you are allowing students to affirm a biblical truth out loud and affirm what they have though but never said. Responsive readings allow students to affirm their beliefs, out loud. One day these truths could become part of their spiritual DNA in times of worry, doubt and pain. Actions reinforces the words being said.

In the Catholic service their is a part that asks the congregation to offer the sign of peace shaking hands. This is more than saying a few words; this is acting on a spiritual principle. Responsive readings do not need to be boring, rote or dry.

They can have life and even be fun for students. You: Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Students: We are sheep.

We need Jesus. Are those in the church of Christ the only people who are going to be saved? Of course they are! God adds people to His church when they are saved.

To be saved outside of the church of Christ is to be saved outside of the body of Christ — and that can never happen. Jesus is not just a way to the Father; he is the way to the Father.

Thus, the real question is not what is the church of Christ, but is rather how do you become a part of the church of Christ? That question was asked in the first century as it is asked today, and the answer remains the same.

Like the Apostle Paul, we are saved when our sins are washed away at our baptism. There is one church of Christ. If you are a member of something else or something more or something less, then you are not serving God according to His plan or according to His will.

He wants you to be a Christian and only a Christian, wearing only the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the head and the savior of the church, His body. Want to know more? Here are 10 things everyone should understand about the church , here are some common misconceptions about the church, and here is how God views the church. What must I do? That same question was asked in Acts at the end of the very first gospel sermon ever preached. Jesus is Lord of lords and King of kings, which means he is your Lord and your King whether or not you obey him or believe him.

In fact, Paul prayed after he saw Jesus on the road to Damascus Acts , and yet Paul was still in his sins when Ananias met him three days later Acts Cornelius prayed to God always Acts , and yet there remained something he still had to do after calling for Peter Acts If your preacher is telling you something different, then you need a new preacher!

Here is God's Plan of Salvation. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

And now why tarriest thou? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
