How are people really saved? Do we choose Jesus or does He choose us? Glory and a profound reality are revealed in the scripture that says, "By His doing you are in Christ Jesus."

Every Christian will have to face the same difficult question: "If God is totally sovereign, do I really have free will? If I do, then what is my part in things and what is God's part?" We will explore the majestic reaches of God's power and the gray area where His sovereignty and our agency collide.

As we abide in Christ, our lives will reflect ongoing and new experiences that glorify the Father. Our relationship with Christ is based on trust, not experiences, but the experiences point us back to Christ and our Heavenly Father. Are you seeking an experience with God or a relationship with your Heavenly Father?

There are concentric circles that govern the judgments we make. Is it my responsibility to judge something? How can I know? Can I make a judgment about things that I am not responsible for? Discernment is needed,  but Jesus will lead us into all truth.

What has God really said about the church making judgments? Are we not to make any at all and leave it all to him, or is there a middle ground? We will look at what Jesus and others have said on the subject and see that righteous judgment is very much the church's business, and those judgments are shaped in community.

How does being in community change us? Through mutual correction and encouragement. But these are powerful instruments that must be used wisely and in the right proportions. If done well, the result is a maturity that looks a good deal like Jesus Himself.

The Community Guidebook for Christians is the Bible. Have you felt like you have been let down by God? By a promise from His book? Listen to Pastor Joel as he takes us on a journey of seeing the Bible for what it is: the perfect guidebook for Christians.

In the Church, some things only happen when we gather together, and other things take on new and surprising qualities. What did Jesus really mean when He said, "When 2 or more are gathered in My Name, there am I in their midst"?

In Christian community, sometimes we have little in common outside of Christ Jesus. So how do we get along? In Christ, little is much because Jesus is everything. The Good News message we believe gets tested, reapplied and tested again until “We all have Christ,” becomes, “All we have is Christ.”

We cannot know ourselves or God fully or truly if the only standard we use is our own assessment of ourselves. Community serves as a mirror in which we see the image we have been missing that leads to growth in godliness.
