PRIORITIES: Love God. Love People.

LOVE GOD by...

WELCOMING Him - Every believer needs daily submission to the Holy Spirit. By welcoming Him into every aspect of life, we can then be filled and empowered by the Spirit, display the fruit of the Spirit, and attain the gifts of the Spirit.

HONORING His Word - To love God is to obey His commandments (John 17 ). But to know His commandments, we must be reading and studying His inspired Word, written and spoken.

PRAYING to Him - We were created by God to have relationship with Him. He longs to talk to us and reveal more of who He is. Through talking and listening to God, we will know more of Him who loves us unconditionally.

WORSHIPING Him - The Bible tells us to praise the Lord, minister to the Lord, bless the Lord, clap, shout, sing a new song, and make him known among the nations...worship. Personal worship of the Lord draws us into His presence.

GIVING to Him - We believe every believer will be engaged in planned, responsible use of their time, talents, skills, and finances to further the work of the God's Kingdom in the local church.

SERVING Him - He has chosen us to accomplish His Great Commission here on earth. As we "go and make disciples", remember we are His tools as He work in and through us. We are here to glorify and serve Him, not ourselves.

LIVING for Him - We must reflect God in our homes, families, work, hobbies, interests, etc. We are to be His light in the darkness and the salt of this earth.

 

LOVE PEOPLE by...

WELCOMING Each Other - To love others, we need to show it. Love is an action, and it can be seen in a smile, a kind word, a shared prayer, a forgiving heart, and hospitable spirit. Be the experience of God's love that someone needs.

HONORING People - We are to encourage, uplift, and exhort. The body of Christ must not be identified by criticism, negativity, or judgementalism. We are to "love our neighbor", and the "neighbor" includes all.

PRAYING for All - We believe God hears and answers our prayers. We believe we are called to "stand in the gap" for those who need help...in the church and in the world. Even prayer for our enemies is Jesus' command.

WORSHIPING Together - The Bible tells us where "two or three" come together in the name of Jesus, He will be there with them. It also tells us to not forsake the assembling of ourselves. Worshiping together creates unity and power.

GIVING Our Gifts - We have all been given gifts by God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We must share the gifts given to us with others by delivering the gifts to those in need.

SERVING the Church - Our love for others will be seen by how we serve them. Jesus himself said he did not come to be served, but to serve. We serve people practically with clothing, food, and shelter.

LIVING out Our Faith - Making disciples requires us being out in the world sharing what Christ has done through our actions, words, and lives. The world needs us to be Christ to them.
