We continue to explore the primary values that set our direction as a church. This week we consider "Extending Grace."

We begin this new year considering the foundations of our church. The first of our 4 major values is New Life.

A New Year is a good time for New Beginnings. We take time to consider who we are as a church. What is the foundation we begin with?

On this last Sunday of Advent, we consider how God teaches us hope. Hope is one of the most powerful. life-giving forces in the world.

Sometimes circumstances of life take us on paths we do not want to take. God can uses these times to teach us He is faithful.

Advent is a season of preparing and waiting for Christmas. Christmas is like a gift ready to be opened, but not until the proper time! Waiting can seem intolerable, but the Bible gives us many examples of what we can gain from waiting.

In 1 Corinthians 13, the apostle Paul describes a biblical view of love. We consider what it means to love as God intends and praise Him for His loving character.

1 Corinthians 11:2-16: The Apostle Paul addresses respect for God's authority structure in the church.

1 Corinthians 10: The Apostle Paul warns Christians about the danger of taking their relationship with the Lord for granted.

1 Corinthians 9. The Apostle Paul describes his ministry and calls on Christians to follow Jesus' example of being a servant to all.
