We can live without cynicism now if we are looking for our ultimate satisfaction in God's promised coming kingdom.

The secret of a great Christmas is letting your longings be shaped or reshaped by Christian hope.

We can trust the So Sovereign Servant and His Sustaining Words

Text: 1 Peter:9-12

The sacraments define our identity. The sacraments say God is going to be faithful to you. In baptism God marks us out and puts his name onto us.

We are contending for the souls of our neighbors, families, and children. God has called us to be the church. To love this place to life. And to do that we need leaders, who are resting in the gospel, following Jesus the chief shepherd, with character and skill to lead others to the cross.

The church is committed to the work of sanctification. Sanctification is you becoming who you already are in Christ — set apart for God and becoming more like Jesus.

We are uniquely united to each other because the same Spirit that gives us life is the same Spirit that binds us together. We are bound in love because our God of love binds us to Him

How often we settle for the appearance of life rather than real life. It is the Holy Spirit's job to bring life.

The bible is both the authority over us and is his affection towards us. The authority of God without the constant dripping of affection will make us callous and strident.
