Humility creates fertile soil for all other virtues (including kindness) to flourish, as our eyes look away from ourselves and are fixed on Christ.

The primary purpose of the gifts of the Spirit are not to merely manifest God’s power, but to mainly manifest Christ’s love.

God's plan was to take the wilderness that Zechariah and Elizabeth experienced and use it to bring John the Baptist into the world, the greatest prophet of the entire OT, so that he could pave the way for the Messiah.

We prioritize godliness over giftedness, so that our giftedness can bring God the most glory and bring our Church the most godly good.

The power of the Spirit enables us to experience the love of the Father.

Spiritual people are not spiritual because of their great gifts; they are spiritual because of their great salvation.

God created men and women to be equal in their value, different in their gender and distinctive in their roles and in their mission to display the gospel and we glorify God when we celebrate and demonstrate those truths in our homes and in our church.
