Bethel Baptist Church Lonedell, Missouri

Pastor Ben Kingston expands upon the last line of our Bethel Approach and encourages us to love and care for one another. "Church - we have a biblical responsibility to love and care for one another. The Church is a body, we all belong to one another. If we lose this, then we can be the greatest missionaries but we will lose our reputation. Jesus said, “by this shall men know that you are my disciples, if you show love one to another.”" 1. The leaders subject themselves to the needs of the flock. 2. Followers subject yourself to the leaders. 3. Be subject to God in Spiritual Warfare.
