Bad leadership is self-serving and neglects to feed, lead and protect the people under its care. Thankfully, God provides a better shepherd for His people.

God loves His people so deeply that He cares for them completely. The LORD's shepherding care of his people can be described in 4 ways:

He knows His sheep; He feeds His sheep; He leads His sheep; He protects His sheep.

What does it look like for the church to be an embassy of God's grace to a fallen, sinful world? We have to understand our message, understand our audience and rest in the power of God to rescue sinners.

Those who have been reconciled to God are now ambassadors of that same reconciliation. The church is an embassy of the Kingdom of God.

Community is the second aspect of church life that makes up our mission. The gospel creates a new group of people who are helping each other to imitate Jesus as they grow.

The church is a community of people who are learning from Jesus what it means to pursue the "one thing necessary." Worship is pursuing and giving our lives to know and follow Jesus.

In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus models for us some of the key elements of genuine, Biblical prayer.

God’s mission for His church is to make and shape followers of Jesus, who are learning from Jesus how to live.

Paul closes his letter to the Corinthian church with some diverse but important words about Christian giving and service.

The last act of God's great story of redemption is the restoration of the Kingdom of God. What Jesus begins at his first coming, he will finish at his second.
