Because believers are reconciled to God through the death of the Lord Jesus, we have been entrusted with the gospel of reconciliation to share with others.

Our gracious God has given gifts to His people for the benefit of the church. Within the variety of gifts is the unity of purpose: to build up the congregation to maturity in Christ. Each believer has work to do, trusting God to bring fruit from our labor.

God graciously gives spiritual gifts to His people to use in service of one another. No Christian may claim to have more of the Spirit or to have the preferred gift above all gifts. The common confession of Jesus as Lord brings all Christians to equal standing before God and one another.

Proper self-examination must precede sharing the Lord's Supper. How we think of ourselves, of each other, and of Christ's sacrifice determines whether participation in this meal brings blessing or judgment.

Our Lord Jesus gave new meaning to the Passover and inaugurated the new covenant through His death on behalf of His people. His sacrifice of Himself removes from us all reasons for selfishness and pride, knowing that He purchased salvation for sinners who could not save themselves.

Using the background of Israel's Exodus from slavery in Egypt, our Lord presented Himself as the Redeemer who accomplished salvation for His people.

God has revealed and recorded His word to us, and we have the responsibility to receive it, study it, and obey it.

When the church gathers, all things must honor Christ and show love to one another. Selfishness and self-indulgence have no place in the assembly, rather reflecting the self-sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Divisions and factions afflict all relationships, but our Lord has called us to selfless, humble, loving unity.

God's good design and order in creation demonstrates the beautiful differences between men and women. May we act with humility and godly purpose as we relate to one another in the family, church, and society.
