Understanding the purpose of the book of John is critical for us to understand God’s purpose for our life and the life of our church.

The difference between “attenders” and “members” can be summed up in one word:

commitment. It is tough to be accountable when you’re not committed to any specific church.

Baptism is a meaningful practice ordained by Christ for the church to follow.

Someone with a growing faith responds to God in all circumstances and actively pursues and prays for others who are sick, struggling, or have strayed away.

Suffering causes God to be glorified and you to be purified.

How we handle wealth is a test of a growing and maturing faith.

Boasting in our plans for personal gain is not how a growing faith is practiced. Instead, a growing faith submits to God’s will in our planning and courageously does what is most honoring and pleasing to Him.
