Get Your Hands on The Net

As Christians, we are called to spread the love and message of Jesus Christ. This can be done in many ways, and one of the most effective ways is by Getting Your Hands on The Net.

This phrase, taken from Matthew 4:19, means to be proactive in reaching out to others and sharing the hope and truth of the Gospel. One of the best ways to do this is by serving on a Dream Team at The Point Church.

In 1 Peter 4:10, we are told that we have each been given a spiritual gift, which is meant to be used to serve others. When we serve others, we are fulfilling our calling and purpose as Christians. We are also building relationships and making a positive impact on the world around us.

As Mother Teresa once said,

"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."

Serving on a dream team at The Point Church is a great way to Get Your Hands on The Net and serve others. The Dream Team is made up of people who have discovered their gifts and passions and are actively serving in them. Whether you have a gift for creating a comfortable environment for others, leading the next generation to Jesus, crafting a dynamic worship experience, or tearing down barriers in your community, there is a place for you on the Dream Team.

As famous Christian author and pastor, Rick Warren once said,

"You were created to make a difference in this world. God designed you to use your gifts, talents, and resources to fulfill a unique purpose."

By serving on a Dream Team, you are fulfilling that purpose and making a positive impact on the world around you.

Another benefit of serving on a Dream Team is the opportunity for personal growth and spiritual development. When we step out of our comfort zones and serve others, we are challenged to rely on God and trust in His plan for our lives. As John C. Maxwell once said,

"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it."

Serving on a dream team can help us develop a positive and proactive attitude toward life, as we learn to trust in God's plan for us.

Finally, serving on a dream team can bring joy and fulfillment into our lives. As Jesus said in Acts 20:35, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." When we serve others, we are giving of ourselves and making a positive impact on the world around us. This brings joy and fulfillment into our lives, as we know that we are living out our purpose and making a difference in the world.

Getting your hands on the net means being proactive in sharing the hope and truth of the Gospel with others.

Serving on a Dream Team at The Point Church is a great way to do this, and it offers many benefits, including fulfilling our purpose as Christians, building relationships, personal growth, and bringing joy and fulfillment into our lives. As William Arthur Ward once said, "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires."

By serving on a Dream Team, we can be great teachers, inspiring others to live out their purpose and make a positive impact on the world around them.

Why Baptism?

Baptism

Many people come to faith in Christ at different points in their lives, and for some, the decision to be baptized may not have come right away. But regardless of when or where you accepted Christ, or whether you have been baptized before, we want to encourage you to consider taking this important step of going public with your faith through baptism.

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision to follow Jesus Christ.

It is a powerful symbol of new beginnings, and it marks the start of a journey of growing closer to God and becoming more like Him. In baptism, we publicly proclaim our faith in Jesus and the change He has made in our lives.

The Bible is clear about the importance of baptism.

In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands his followers to baptize others in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and in Acts 22:16, the Apostle Paul is told by Ananias "And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name." . So, baptism is not just a tradition, it is a command from our Lord, Jesus himself.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, but have never been baptized, we want you to know that you are not alone. There are many people in the same situation, and we would be honored to stand alongside you as you take this important step of faith. Being baptized is not just for new believers, it is for anyone who wants to publicly identify themselves with Jesus, regardless of their past.

Baptism is a powerful way to start your journey as a follower of Jesus.

It marks the start of a new chapter in your life and is a powerful reminder of the change Jesus has made in you. As the Bible says,

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

We would love to have the opportunity to stand with you as you go public with your faith. Let us know if you are ready to take the step of being baptized and we will be more than happy to help you make this decision! We believe that your baptism will be a day you will never forget, a moment that you will look back on with joy.

We hope you will consider taking this step and going public with your faith through baptism.
