We can take no credit in regard to our salvation; it is completely a work of God.

Christ’s resurrection is not only the guarantee for the resurrection of believers, but the restoration of creation.

By understanding what God has revealed in the past we have guidance for discernment in the present.

Our commitment to God is expressed in the determination to not be defined by the worked but refined by God.

Christian freedom is not about what the government can give or take away, but what we have in Jesus. In Jesus we have not only forgiveness of sin, but have been given the power to not be dominated by that sin. We have been freed from sin to live freely for God.

To communicate clearly we must be flexible in our methods, but inflexible in our message.

Baptism doesn’t mean that we live perfectly but we are submitting to live under His management.

Our mission is under His authority fueled by His promise, and is empowered by His presence.

Our power for living out our faith comes from the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit.

When we are in communion with Him we learn to trust Him and discover that He is enough when the material blessings are there, or when they are not.
