We consider it a privilege to share with you a glimpse into our spiritual family here in Argyle. We are a community of believers best characterized by unconditional love and genuine discipleship. We embrace the story of the cross with great zeal: God lavished His love on us when He sent his unique Son. It is our endeavor to lavish God's love on others -- no strings attached. Likewise, the story of His cross compels us to seriously contemplate our own sacrificial service -- the spirit of surrender that says , "not my will but Yours be done."

We are interested in you. Our primary objective is to facilitate a genuine relationship between you and the God who created you in His image. It is our aspiration to connect you with some of God's people and consequently inspire you toward greater service in His merciful name. We are compassionate to those ravaged by the empty promises of Satan because most of us have also been affected by his deceit. But, we proudly advertise that God has kept all His promises to us through His Spirit, His Son, and the Church -- the body of Christ.

We are a vibrant church family involved in mutual edification. We serve our communities; we engage in missions around the world, we assist each other in the challenges of parenting, we comfort each other in times of difficulty and grief, we rejoice together in personal and professional achievements, we celebrate the presence of God in our worship assemblies. And when our earthly days are completed, we bury one another in expectation of everlasting life because of the One who was raised from the dead. We are journeying together toward our eternal home and loving every minute of the journey. Our spiritual family still has room for traveling companions and we invite you to just travel with us for a while and if we prove to be the family you always wanted, join us in the journey of faith.

I’m Afraid I Can’t Live Up to It.....Steve Ridgell

      Buy in. Let go. Take a leap. Get out of the boat. Walk on water. Go all in. Sell out completely. Don’t hold anything back. All of these phrases refer to the spiritual concept of being totally committed to Jesus. It is a desire many of us have had but not all of us have done. Maybe you are one of those. You find yourself hanging around the fringes of Christianity—knowing there is more to it. You go to church Easter, Christmas, Mother’s Day; you pray when in crisis. You try not to do anything very bad, and you try to be a pretty good person. But all the time you know there is more to it. What is holding you back?

      It may be the fear that you will not be able to live up to that kind of commitment. What if you don’t get all the sin out of your life? What if you lose your spiritual focus sometimes?

     Let me share some good news. God does not expect you to do it all on your own. When you make that decision to fully commit to Jesus, he provides valuable resources to help you be His person in this world.

      God gives you His Holy Spirit (H.S.) to live in you. You get that gift when you are baptized. The H.S. gives you power to put to death the sin in your life. The H.S. will help you become the person God sees in you. It serves as a guarantee of salvation until Jesus comes back.

      God knew I would need help to stay faithful.

      God puts you in a community. You are not on this journey alone. We are family. We are one body. We share in the same baptism, we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus together, and we share the same H.S. We pray together, worship together and serve together. We provide for our needs together. We encourage each other, hold each other accountable, and forgive each other. We laugh together and we cry together.

      God will provide the help you need. It is up to you to make the commitment.
