Belonging to community comes with it the selfless responsibility to love one another.

As those saved by Jesus into His church, we are now family.

The vast benefits of Gospel Community far outweigh those of the world's counterfeit versions.

You were made for Gospel Community.

Giving our money and possessions away for the purpose of God's kingdom is a wonderfully worthy investment.

To choose the earth as your reward is foolish.

God is the happy Savior of His people. As we consider the Incarnation of Jesus, and the reality that God is in our midst, may we be filled with joy in His joy that rejoices and lovingly sings over us.

The message of Zephaniah is for others, too. As we consider God’s judgment on others’ sin, we’re encouraged to entrust justice to Him, beware of our own pride, and lovingly hold out the hope of Jesus as we await His restoring salvation for all who seek Him.

In light of sin's devastating consequences and impending judgment, let us urgently seek the Lord, avidly attacking idols and abiding in Jesus, our Hiding Place.

As we enter advent we’re reminded of what it means to seek the Lord in the silence. As we look behind us to the manger, and before us to the crown, we seek the saving judge who is in our midst.
