As believers in Christ, we are united by faith into a community called the church, which is both local and global. As the church, we are commissioned by Jesus Christ to spread the gospel through making disciples of all nations. We both this most effectively when we are engaged with serving each other in love and worshipping God with everything we do.

As we come to faith in God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are brought into the family of God. This community of faith is called the church and is the fellowship of believers across time and place who are empowered and united by the Holy Spirit to be witnesses to the gospel of Christ.

Having been declared righteous when we trusted in Jesus for forgiveness of sins, we are now called to grow in righteousness. The book of Romans will reveal the foundation, expectation, and motivation for our sanctification.

Soteriology, the study of our Salvation, is one of the richest themes throughout the Scriptures. In fact, God provides us a series of different explanations (atonement, propitiation, reconciliation, justification, and redemption) for all that Christ's death on a Cross accomplished for us who have been saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

All humanity has been created in the image of God. Yet, the reality of sin has distorted our culture's understanding of race, gender, and sexuality.

We worship one God consisting of three persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This God has always existed in perfect community and eternal love, and by his own will, extends that love outward toward his creation. Though we sinned against God, his love continues to reach out to us, offering reconciliation through the blood of the Son, by the Spirit, to the Father.

In John 21 we see how Jesus restores us in failure by providing forgiveness and purpose.

In Luke 24 we see how God's perfect plan provides us with hope beyond our expectations.

In John 11 we see hope Jesus provides beyond death.

Colossians 3:18-21 shows us how our families are transformed when we depend on Christ's direction.

Many of us have feel the effects of burnout encountered through our work-first lifestyle. When God designed humanity, he created us to work as a way to reflect his own image as a Creator God, but also to fill our lives with purpose and meaning. However, he also set the precedent for taking one day a week to rest and reorient ourselves to God. When we rest, we find ourselves more effective at what...

Jesus is worthy of all of our worship because He has a better title and a better set of tasks than any idol in our lives.
