HOW CAN I JOIN BLOOMINGDALE BAPTIST CHURCH?

By trusting Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and desiring baptism by immersion as a public profession of your faith.

By being baptized if you have trusted Christ as your Savior, but have not made a public profession of that faith through baptism by immersion.

By transferring your membership by letter from an-other Baptist church.

By statement as having been scripturally baptized by immersion as a believer.

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteous-ness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

STARTING WEDNESDAY APRIL 4, 2018

God’s kingdom is like FREE refills at a restaurant. Wait,

what?! Jesus used common, everyday items to explain

the kingdom of God; we can too! The kingdom is like

free refills. Still thirsty after one tea or coffee? Get an-

other — no charge. In fact, the kingdom of God is better

than free refills because you don’t even have to pay for

the first glass. It’s like having a parent buy you a favor-

ite meal when you’re young. You sit back and savor it

without the price crossing your mind. That’s okay, be-

cause the generous giver loves you and wants to be

with you. Sure, that’s simplistic, but so are Jesus’ para-

bles. Overanalyze them and they may fall apart. But

ponder the single point each makes, maybe get a

chuckle and an a-ha! out of it, and that parable has

done its job. So grab another free refill — of your bever-

age and of God’s Love! — Mann; The Newsletter
