In the final message of the “Staying Connected” series, Dr. Stubblefield focuses on our relationship to the local church. Leveraging a passage from the first eight verses of the Third Epistle of John, the primary character Gaius demonstrates three characteristics that every church member should model. If we followed his example, it would transform our churches into spiritual communities where we will serve rather than be served, pray for and follow our leaders, give generously to support the spread of the Gospel to a broken world and learn and grow in our knowledge of the Word of God.

In Part 2 of the sermon series, “Staying Connected”, the focus moves to Psalm 128. It addresses the elements of life, love and legacy that are essential components of the family connection. According to the Word of God, the family is neither an optional or ala carte item on the menu of human life, but an essential component in God’s plan and purposes for this world. In fact, the family is older than the church. After the creation of the human soul, the family is the second Divine institution established. When the humanity of the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, was born on this planet, He was placed in a family. Listen and learn more about this critical connection.

In this segment, Dr. T. D. Stubblefield introduces a series of sermons around the theme of “Staying Connected." This first sermon in the series rooted in the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 12, verses 28 - 34, will focus on the most primary, pivotal and pressing connection of all, our relationship to God. To use a baseball metaphor, in this series we will circle the bases on our way to home plate and revisit and reinforce the mission of the New Testament church which is to reach the unsaved for Jesus Christ as ambassadors of Christ.
