We walk worthy of Jesus by becoming like him. Essential to conformity to Christ is delighting in him. We walk worthy of him by bearing fruit and growing in our knowledge of God.

Union with Christ is the Christian life. In Christ, we're chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, inheritors and sealed.

The Gospel is for Christians. The Gospel transforms and multiplies.

Faith in Christ and love for Christ's people is fueled by hope in Christ.

Grace saves us. Grace sanctifies. Grace secures. For the Christian all of God's actions towards us are expressions of his kindness. We find our identity in him.

Every member of the church is a minister of the church. Every Christian must be active in building up the body of Christ.

Every Christian is obligated to join a local church. Church membership is submission to fellow Christians and to specific pastors.

Deacons are the assistants to the pastors. They serve the church by taking important, practical tasks off the plate of the pastors.

God isn't interested in businessmen, entrepreneurs, or inspiring men to lead his church. He is interested in shepherds who model Christian character.
