As those who are no longer darkness but light in the Lord, we must walk as children of light.

As Christians, we must live as Christians: thinking and acting differently than non-Christians and above all, imitating God by walking in love.

God's plan for church growth is for His people to grow in maturity, stability, and Christ-likeness - and He's given us what we need for that through gifted leaders who equip the saints for the work of ministry.

The gospel compels us to be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the church of Jesus Christ.

Prayer is the gift of God for the people of God to grow in all the ways of God, for our good and His glory.

It is an immense privilege to proclaim the gospel that gives all people full and free access to God's salvation through Christ. Exercising this awesome privilege brings suffering, but even that, God turns to glory.

The cross is the power for peace, peace with God (despite our hostility and alienation) and peace with one another (despite our hostility and alienation). If we want peace, we must be a people of the cross.

If we're to live lives pleasing to God, we must know that salvation is a gif totally apart from works but we must also know that salvation calls us unto a life devoted to works.

We were dead, in bondage to sin, headed for destruction, hopeless. But God - by sheer grace - made us alive, raised us from the grave...saved us.

God desires that we would know Him and specifically that we would know His power - really comprehending that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is now at work in us!
