To be great in God's kingdom is to be a servant to all. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

The mercies of God call us to empathize with others in both their joys and their sorrows. There is a time to laugh and a time to cry.

Jesus calls us to a life that runs counter to our feelings and impulses. It's the grace and mercy factor. As recipients of grace we give grace to the underserving.

How we relate to each other reveals what we really believe as opposed to what we say or think we believe. Action is truth lived.

Love is a verb. It requires action, initiative and an unwavering commitment to walk in obedience.

God is the author of all life. How amazing that a God of immensity beyond human understanding is intimately involved in each of our lives.

Loving each other isn't always easy, even in the church. We're all still in process of being made like Christ, but we can do this with God's help.

The defining attribute of our relationships here at CCC is to be that we love one another. It's to be the mark of the church.

To grow in our walk with God in 2023, we must diligently pursue the truth and diligently do it. We're either growing or regressing.
