Every faith-filled giving transforms our otherwise ordinary relationship with God into an extraordinary adventure

God – in Jesus – “moved into the neighborhood”, and sends us, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to go forth and do likewise.

We trust that the Lord  will add to our number those who are being saved. Those who are being rescued.

When we commit to sharing meals together, Jesus, the Lord of the Table, gets into the midst of our table fellowship by his Spirit, and works in powerful ways to unite us together as a church family, and to draw outsiders to himself.

Prayer is the first thing we should do but it’s often the last thing we try. For many of us, our first instinct is to do it on our own.

It’s freeing to realize that sharing your faith is both a PROCESS and a PARTNERSHIP.

All of us need to show up and be ready to worship together on Sunday for sure – but every day of the week is a dress rehearsal for the peak moment of corporate gathering, when we celebrate God and enable each other to have fresh encounters with the Almighty.

If you’re serious about growing in your faith, you need to be in a group. You need community.

To be “devoted to the apostles’ teaching” (see Acts 2:42) is to be committed to learn, love, and live the counsel of the whole Bible.
