Persecution, though intended to stifle the Gospel, instead amplifies the spreading of the gospel. The church should expect persecution, imprisonment, and even death, but none of these things should strike fear into our hearts. We can be sure God will accomplish His will even through violent hands.

The church is filled with people still fighting their sinful flesh. At times, conflict arises, disagreements happen, and repentance and forgiveness is needed. The gospel reminds us that the devil is a divider and that we should seek to dwell together with our brothers and sisters in Christ-like unity.

Each of us has a choice: to surrender to our own desires or to surrender to the one true Lord of Lords. We bow to the Lord because we deeply believe that a life surrendered to Jesus is worth whatever He calls us to do.

The church is positioned to be the one who disciples new believers to grow in the grace and truth of Jesus. By teaching one another the teachings of Jesus, we rejoice in the sanctifying power of the gospel that continually makes us more like Jesus.

The Church is not immune to needing help and when help is needed, the church stands in to serve one another. God has called us to serve others the same way Christ came to serve us by willingly and inconveniently dying for the sins of the world.
