"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33
True greatness in the Kingdom of Jesus is never about our elevation but the elevation of Jesus
Be strong in the Lord and follow His ways. If you do that, I know from experience, you will be blessed.
Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.
Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God,. This is the best path to peace with your neighbor.
The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God… let your gentleness be evident to all.
If we try to do things in our own strength, things will look wonky, and it will be easy to see that our life is not authentically Christ-like.
Only an authentic church that is honest about its sins and flaws can build the trust needed to change a community.
God’s grace motivates and propels us to live in a counter-cultural way. We are set apart to be different.
Jesus’ Love does not depend on what we do for Him. You have value because you are alive and because He created you.
If it were not for the hope of the Messiah, we would all be standing in the way of God’s judgment right now.
Take steps toward God’s presence. Bring what you have to God. Rest. Remember the poor and the immigrant.
Like Israel freed from Egypt, Jesus came to free you and your love ones from sorrow and sin right now. He also rescues from eternal death in the next life. Feast your eyes on the cross. Our only hope is Jesus.

Everything we do should lead back to the cross. We should constantly be reminded of His sacrifice; we should be ready to give an answer for the hope that is in us and then be a picture of that gospel.

Community is not just something that would be nice for a church to have; community is an irreducible minimum of the church.
