Active membership is an invitation to commit to participate in the local church family where God has called you. It means participation in a family, and we’re a microcosm of the universal family of God.

We come to experience God’s grace through communion and baptism. As God’s new covenant family—the church—we participate in communion and baptism on a regular basis.

Every breath we breathe is an act of worship. As followers of Jesus, all of what we do is an act of worship to God. Hear from Pastor Andrew in this special version of the message he delivered during our Sunday gatherings this weekend.

As we follow Jesus, we can be confident that God is up to something in our lives. And as we finish our series from 1 John, we examine four certainties that give confidence to our faith.

What is the way to having real life? What is the way to faith? These two questions rest at the heart of the Scripture we examine during this weekend’s talk.

How we define love matters, and God has created us to love him and to love others. Let us let God’s love radically change and transform us, and let us love one another well.

The stage is set for us to show the world what real love looks like. May we be a church that loves with sacrifice, not selfishness; may we be known by how we give up for each other, and not just put up with each other.

Living in sin is incompatible with abiding in Christ. We won’t reach some level of perfection before Jesus comes back. But our attitude toward sin ought to be one of disgust—when we mess up, it ought to bother us because that’s not like Christ.

Salvation is not earned through endurance, but endurance is a mark and sign of those who follow Jesus. Is Jesus still the one you know who can save you, redeem you, restore you, or are you looking to other sources for hope?

We’re called to love like Jesus loves, but our love gets misguided, misdirected at times. You can have a real relationship with God, but there’s something that can break that union apart, John warns: a love for the world.
