How can we honor God and one another in that? The post Living as a Christian in Light of Cor...

Talk is cheap. Jesus wasn’t interested in us talking a good game. It was interested in us living out what he preached, actively following him. One of the key things we see in the Bible as we look at Following Jesus is a clear call to authentic relationships. That’s what the church is all about – it’s a body of believers, engaged in authentic relationships, growing in Christlike character together,...
