"I and The Father Are One"
Speaker:Fred O. Pitts Jr
Fred O. Pitts became the Pastor of Ancient City Baptist Church in July 2017. Although life in the 21st century is complex, he believes the purpose of life can be summed up more simply in the answers Jesus gave when asked the greatest of the commandments: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Pastor Fred says, “The primary call in my life is seeking first the kingdom of God through pastoring and teaching. My passion is teaching God’s word in a manner that is both understandable and relevant. Primary emphases in my ministry are compassion and encouragement.”

Some say that Jesus of Nazareth never claimed to be the Messiah (Christ) and never claimed to be God; they suppose that his disciples and/or theologians made those assertions later. This passage helps debunk these and other wrong ideas as we look again at what Jesus tells us about himself and his purpose.
