Ice breaker

Q.  If you are at the zoo, what animal do you enjoy watching most and why?

Here at Waters Church, We Have No Other Agenda Than to Exalt Jesus Christ As Lord.

How To Be A Healthy Church:

1. Is Jesus Lord of My Life?

 1 Corinthians 12:1-3 NLT

Waters Church Is A Church Built To REACH, TEACH, AND LOVE PEOPLE Into A Growing Relationship With Jesus Christ.

 We’re NOT Here Trying To BE BETTER People. We Are Here Because We Are WHOLLY Convinced That JESUS Is MORE.

 Q. Is Jesus Lord of my life?” Discuss how this question affects your daily decisions and relationships. How does recognizing Jesus as Lord change your perspective on challenges and opportunities?

How To Be A Healthy Church:

2. Are the SPIRIT’s Gifts ACTIVE In My Life?

How To Be A Healthy Church:

3. Are You ALL IN At Waters Church? 

1 Corinthians 12:14-15.; 1 Corinthians 12:17 ESV; 1 Corinthians 12:21-25 ESV
