What do you think of when you hear the word “Bells”? Maybe you think of a doorbell, or a church bell ringing, or maybe even our city and the “Riverside Bell” symbol. Well, we're starting off a new series called “B.E.L.L.S.” and what we're going to be showing you is an acronym that will hopefully change what you first think of when you hear that word. This week, we're starting with the first letter of that acronym, “Bless.”

To end off our B.E.L.L.S. series, we're looking at the last letter, “S.” Our greatest mission as followers of Christ is to go out and make disciples. While this sounds straightforward and simple, it's often something we skip over and expect those called as “Missionaries” to do, but in fact we too are missionaries. So let's see what it means to be “Sent” and what we're truly called to do as believers.

So far in our B.E.L.L.S. series we've covered some ways to bless others and share the gospel, but one of the best ways to share the love of Christ is to be an example. In order to be a good example, we've got “Learn” from our example first. This week, we're learning, how to learn.
