THE LIFE GUIDE OF BAPTIST GROVE
SPRING 2014
Our Vision
Our vision is to reach, grow, and empower committed followers of
Jesus Christ, who live life to the fullest, through growing in
relationship with God, strengthening relationships with others, and
bringing life to the world through service.
Live Out Your Faith
Praise the Lord for His compassion, faithfulness, and love towards us. We are grateful for our
salvation and that God has planted us as members of Baptist Grove Church. My prayer for you, as
your pastor, is that you will not only “go” to Baptist Grove but that you will “Grow” at Baptist
Grove. We want you to grow so that you can live the abundant life that God has purposed for you
(John 10:10).
All throughout the New Testament, there is an emphasis on growing in discipleship (Colossians
1:9-10, 2 Peter 3:18, Ephesians 4:12-13, 15-16, Titus 2:11-14, 2 Peter 1:5-8, Hebrews 6:1-2).
Based upon these scriptures and the exhortations we see in the New Testament, spiritual growth
is important! How can we grow? I believe the heart of spiritual growth is found in this simple
truth—“Faith that is growing is faith that is active; Faith that is active is faith that is growing.”
Living out your faith through being active in discipleship programs is a great foundation for
spiritual growth, which translates into a life that is in greater harmony with the example of Christ.
Participating in fellowship opportunities will help you grow in your love for others, which
translates into greater unity. Participating in service will help you grow in humility and
compassion, which translates into more opportunities to be a light to the community and the
world (Matthew 5:16).
Your life is headed in the right direction since you made a decision to follow Christ. We pray you
are empowered to live out your faith by making a commitment to get involved in one of our
amazing ministries. I pray you will be blessed by this guide, but more importantly, by your
involvement in the ministries to which it leads you.
Sincerely,
Reverend Bankole Akinbinu, Pastor

SHARE MY FAI H
God has saved us to share the gospel with others. We are disciples purposed to spread
the good news and make other disciples. We know that this can take most of us out of
our comfort zone, but as you prepare to share your faith:
1. Pray
2. Rely on the Power of the Holy Spirit
3. Use the “Romans Road” as a Biblical map for what salvation entails and who
can be saved (see below)
Romans 3:23-“All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (The Problem).
Romans 6:23-“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord” (The Consequences of our Sin and God’s Gift).
Romans 5:8-“But God proves his Love for us in that while we are sinners Christ died for
us” (God’s Remedy).
Romans 10:9-10-“If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart
that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the
heart and so is justified and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved” (The
Decision).
