True faith is always attacked, and when that happens, we must be prepared to lean into the promise of life and the gift of faith that God gives us in Jesus.

We must remember and embrace our identity as disciples in the community of the local church.

The grace of God urges and empowers us to fight for fruitfulness by avoiding the unprofitable, warning the foolish, and modeling the love of good works.

We can't find peace without grace, because peace always & only comes through the work of Jesus for us and the work of His Spirit in us.

Jesus pursues us as sinners, saves us by his mercy, and sends us into a life of readiness for good.

The gospel, our mission, is the good news story of salvation appearing, grace embracing, right now training, hope filled waiting that MUST be told!

We must practice what we preach to show the beauty of the gospel to the lost.

Gospel formed belief produces gospel shaped behavior.

Grace transforms us by training us.

God’s standard for leaders is extremely high because of who we are, what we become and what happens in our lives apart from and when we refuse to embrace grace.
