Next Steps
The decision to follow Christ
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
God loves you and has a plan for your life. He sent his son to die for us on the cross. Now it is up to us to decide to receive his miracle or not.
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
"Romans 10:9-10 (RVR1960)
One thing you must understand is that you are never too far from God. Even in our low moments God is calling us to breathe a new life. Are you ready to make that decision? If you want to follow Christ, say this prayer: God, I admit that I am a sinner and that I have made a mistake. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that God raised him from the dead. I have decided to follow Christ, and I confess that you are my Savior. Thank you Jesus for saving me. Amen.

Baptisms
Baptism is an outward display and celebration of your inner decision to trust Christ with your eternity. It is an act of obedience, a step of recognition that represents the fact that Jesus died on the cross, was buried and rose from the grave so that each of us can experience eternal life. If you have made the decision to follow Jesus, baptism is your next step in your spiritual journey.
"for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
"Galatians 3:27 (NIV)
Serving
As a new follower of Christ, one of the most powerful lessons you can put into action is to serve in the church. Because when you volunteer your time and talent, you will discover a life of influence and change. We have something for everyone - discover your potential and serve at MLC Harvest!"
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
"Mark 10:45 (KJV1960)
