Thank You All, From the LT

Last week, our LT (Leadership Team) went on an outing where we were able to spend the day eating, laughing, sharing, worshipping, and praying together.  We spent the time sharing about our lives, our marriages, and our church.  And it would have been impossible to do (at least without kids) if it weren’t for many [...]

All Things for the Sake of the Gospel to God’s Glory for Our Joy

By ‘all things’ we mean everything in our individual lives and corporate church life, including all of our conduct, thoughts, worldviews, relationships, worship, and will. Scripture reminds us that we are to do everything in view of the Gospel. The word ‘all’ is an all-encompassing word. In 1 Corinthians 9:23, Paul writes: “I do it [...]
