Rejoicing in Jesus is our safeguard from being led astray

Walking in Christ through self-sacrifice and suffering is a life worth watching

God calls us to a Spirit-empowered obedience, that we might shine the light of his gospel amid this dark world

This weekend we welcomed friends from our partnership church in Chemnitz, Germany. Bernard Millard serves as the pastor and Josua Schulze led worship and he also leads their church planting project called "The Blessing."

Partnership in the gospel requires laying aside the glory of self and following the pattern of Christ

When the church is centered on the gospel of Jesus, we operate as a community on mission, with unity, humility, and love

When Christ is everything to us, the goal of our living and dying becomes the joy of others glorying in Christ

Suffering for the gospel is not losing; rather God is at work through our proclamation of Jesus in all circumstances to make much of Christ in us and through us

The gospel is our central navigation point for all of life, relationships, and ministry

The church is one family, united by the gospel and for the gospel’s advance
