what we believe
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and our only rule of faith and practice. As Scripture teaches, we believe God became man in the person of Jesus Christ, saving us from sin by grace through faith. We believe the seventh-day Sabbath was established by God at Creation and honored by Jesus in His earthly ministry as a gift of rest and rejuvenation for all. We celebrate the church as the diverse “new community” forged through the death and resurrection of Jesus, in which all are called, all are gifted, and all are valued. We anticipate Jesus’ personal and visible return to earth to raise the righteous dead, make the earth new, and dwell with His faithful children throughout eternity . We live out our love for Jesus by growing in His likeness and by serving our fellowmen.

Welcome to Sligo today. This may sound like a strange question, but I will ask it anyway. Do you hate your feet? I ask this because if you do hate your feet, you’re not alone. Recently I read that sixty-six percent of us have such a negative opinion of our feet that we refuse to even show them in public. The reasons for this are quite interesting. There are some who feel that their feet are ugly, while others see them as smelly, and yes there are those who describe their feet as disgusting. And we have to admit that we have all encountered feet that have not been, to say the least, the most attractive. But it was with this in mind that Jesus challenged his disciples to wash each other’s feet. And his message was not through lip service, but through the example of kneeling down and washing their smelly, dusty, and, yes, disgusting feet. And as we shall see in our message today, Jesus was not merely challenging their idea of greatness, but he was also challenging his disciples then and his disciples today, that in order to be effective servants, representative of his kingdom, we must be willing to step outside our comfort zones. - Charles A. Tapp
