Gospel-shaped churches need servant leaders who follow Jesus Christ and give us an example to strive after.

Real teachers of the gospel are servants, faithful to the word, and free from the fear of man.

True wisdom is measured by humility, and true humility only comes from understanding yourself in relation to Jesus.

Christ and Him crucified was the eternal plan of God to save His people. This is what Paul calls the "wisdom of God."

Boasting in man, or pride, destroys the church. Therefore, we must learn humility by boasting only in the cross of Jesus Christ which magnifies the grace and glory of God.

The cross frustrates human wisdom and power by forcing us to boast in Christ alone.

When we lose sight of the cross, we lose sight of what binds the Church together.

God and His good news are the foundation and fuel of His Church.

God changes the way we understand ourselves. God changes the way we understand community. God changes the way we understand our story.

In Jesus, God has given His Church all the gifts she needs to grow in maturity and service to others.

God's generous grace moves us to overflow in generosity. God has drawn near to us in Christ, so now we give our time, talents and treasure to draw others to Christ.
