Every Sunday we close our worship service with the phrase, “you are loved.” Do we mean that? We want to be a church where everyone knows that phrase to be true. We need God’s help to love and embrace our church as family. We need God’s help to love as he loves us.

When God works, that changes EVERYTHING! We want him to go above and beyond our plans and do what only he can do. As we look ahead our theme for the year is a simple prayer, "God, work."

Have you ever wanted to know God's will for your life? In 1 Thessalonians 4 Paul gives us insight into what God's will is, but it might not be exactly what we're hoping for. While we sometimes might feel that God's will is unknowable, we find in the scriptures that God wants us to know and obey his will.

When you stand for the values of God's Kingdom in opposition of the world's upside down kingdom there will be a number of consequences. We find this when we look at the example of Paul in Acts 17. Pastor Jeff offers us some "warning labels" for us to consider as we continue to represent Christ's kingdom in the world we live in.
