We often misunderstand or under-appreciate all the influence that the gospel is designed to have on our life. The gospel desires to save us, yes. But it also desires to sanctify us and make us more like Christ. From there, it calls us to live a life of reconciliation and regeneration in all areas and aspects of our life.

What exactly should the Christian life look like? Can it be anything for anyone, or are there certain things that God expects for all Christians? David Marvin teaches through 1 Peter 1:23-2:10, explaining what the Christian life should look like and how we can live out and experience the purpose God has for us.

As we wrap up our series, Better Together, we end with the community core value that is really the culmination of faithfully practicing the other five: Engage Missionally. The church was never meant to be some holy huddle, but rather, a group of people that engaged, loved, and served the world around them. Jeff Ward, Christy Chermak, and Bruce Kendrick teach through different ways you and your community group can excel at engaging missionally right where God has you.

What marks the relationships with the people in your life you are closest with? Are you committed to others, and do you have anyone that is committed to you?

Is your counsel to others informed by the Word of God? Todd teaches on the importance of counseling Biblically, and how we can live this out within our community groups.

Everyone has a different siren song, what is yours? Do you have godly friends that come alongside you and encourage you in your walk with Christ? Today Todd talks about the importance and purpose of community within the church.

Will you devote yourself daily to the Word of God? In this sermon Todd talks about the importance of being in the Word daily so that we can be what God wants us to be for His glory and our good.

What are you looking forward to in the coming year? It is important to remember that no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in we need to seek Christ, respond to Him faithfully, and know that God sent Jesus to free us from our bondage to sin.
