Church is not so much a place to go to as it is a family to which we belong. We do not gather together to honor God through our activities, we gather together to honor God through our love for Him and for His people.

Real faith requires courage. You cannot follow Christ without courage.

A real church possesses loving and sacrificial leadership. Spiritual shepherds must prepare to persevere through much opposition and pain as they serve God in the church.

A real church always brings real impact to individual lives and to communities.

We have many reasons to thank God for the church. However, no church can survive apart from the supernatural working of the Holy Spirit in her midst. The existence and health of the church rests upon the experience of the Holy Spirit converting men and women from darkness to light.

No follower of Jesus can be healthy in his or her walk with God without a healthy connection to the local church.

What matters is not where you are sent, but that you are ready.

Life in Christ brings trials and hardships, but Jesus promises deliverance to those who persevere. All believers should expect hardships, and we must examine ourselves to know whether we are prepared for the path that awaits us.

Jesus’ call for us to witness to His Gospel is the BEST expression of compassion for broken people that we can ever find. But without sound teaching, no disciple will obey Jesus.
