From Matthew 18, we learn that confession of sin to one another is a vital part of church health. Confession of sin helps to build trust with one another and enables the church to authentically represent the gospel to the world.

Preaching from Hebrews 10:19-25, we learn that because God has drawn near to us in Christ, we are now called draw near to one another.

From John 13 we learn Jesus' command to love one another. Our love for others should be like the incarnated, sacrificial, and irresistible love of Christ for us.

The disciples were convinced that Christianity was highly relational. It is all the more important for us to learn to treat one another in a way that reflects the gospel of Christ. From Galatians 5:13-15, and 6:1-5 we will see the importance of moving away from self, and towards the service and care for others.

One of the grace outcomes of this pandemic has been to rediscover the importance of stepping towards one another. This Sunday we begin a series on the Christian One Anothers found in the New Testament.  From Romans 16 we're reminded of the importance of greeting, accepting and extending hospitality to one another.

From 2 Corinthians 4, we see that the Jesus Christ has brought resurrection life to all those who believe; life that starts now, is getting heavier, and is not always easy to see.

Death is forever defeated thru the victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. His victory brings salvation to all who believe. We believe this with our hearts, and confess it by sharing God's saving grace with others.

On this Palm Sunday we mourn the effects disease, sin and death are having at this moment in our world. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matt. 5:7). Let's pray, fast, and mourn for a world and the shadow of darkness that looms over us right now.

Preaching from Acts 2, Vince Oliveri reminds us of the shared life we experience because of the gospel. As a community of people changed by the gospel we express our awe of God through worship, we practice love for one another through fellowship, and we demonstrate the life-changing power of the gospel by stepping towards neighbors and others in need.

Returning to our series from the Apostles' Creed, we see from John 14, four promises of what the Spirit of God desires to do in us today.
