The forces of this world oppose the kingdom, but they cannot overcome the present power of the Spirit. Trust the Spirit of God more than the forces of this world. If you are in Christ, the Spirit of God is on your side! He is for us! And he is capable!

The church will encounter internal tension and conflict, that provides pastoral care opportunities. This does not terminate on us however, it must result in the continuation of disciple making.  The Word of God is critical to the sanctification and care for the church and in disciple making.

To love Christ is to love others above yourself. This is a foundational truth of the community of the church. Jesus loved us with this sort of love. We get to continue his love to each other.

Pastor Sam takes us through John 8 and the freedom call of the Gospel of Jesus.
