When we look to the heavens we see an example of obedience from God's creation. When we look into His Word we see a perfection that reveals our sins. But when we take a look at our own hearts, we see a need for a Redeemer.

The waters of baptism are developed from a larger picture of God's power and control to order that which is disordered by the curse of sin. We will see the dramatic picture of God's ability to draw His people out and give them a new identity.

No matter where you go, wherever you look, you will find evidence of God's majesty. He has imbued his creation with clues to His character and promises. But there are some keys to making sure we are able to rightly identify those conclusions.

The deceitfulness of sin never rests, and with a continued rejection of God's Spirit we will develop a hard-heartedness that is the result of a pattern of stubbornness: a reliance on ourselves before God.

The difficulty of waiting is enflamed by our culture's preoccupation with self. However the early church struggled with the creep of selfishness the same as us. No where is secret assault more detrimental than to the unity and communion of the church family.

The church is filled with diversity. This strength of our multifaceted expression of God's glory is also the fulcrum of tension and division inside of the church. God's solution is transformation that flows from those with open arms - those who are willing to accept.

Submission is a confusing word in our world today. However, Christlike respect for one another honors God's design by serving and yielding to one another in humility, love, out of a reverence for Christ.

Biblical teaching is more than just doctrine, theology, and information. It must be formational to equip God's people to live the truth. Each of us has a role and responsibility to help one another grow in maturity and faithful obedience to His Word.

There may be no greater attribute in our fellowship that displays a mutual love and care for one another than peace. Biblical peace preserves the unity of Christ's body as believers pursue reconciliation, humility, and harmony with one another.

Admonishment requires Spirit-led discipline from both the speaker and listener. Loving admonishment calls one another toward repentance and Christlike holiness through gracious truthful encouragement.
