Bible Talks

In a culture of radical individualism, being truly human means belonging together as church in a community of truth and love.

In a culture that’s orchestrated God’s absence, being truly human means worshipping God, not created things that don’t last, and delighting in and being satisfied by his presence which lasts forever.  

In a culture where God is discarded and identity is created and curated, our true humanity is created and formed by being found in Christ.

God will always hear and answer the prayers of his people no matter what problems they face

When we believe the gospel of Jesus’ death on the cross, we are justified through our faith and have peace with Him. The life of the justified is not perfect due to a world tainted by sin resulting in a life of peace, hope, suffering and love.

No matter who you are or what you have done, Jesus will be delighted and rejoice with all of heaven if you repent and come back to him.

Since the kingdom of heaven has come and since the risen Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, then we must be salt and light – making disciples, baptizing and teaching others to obey all he has commanded.

Because the saving work of Jesus Christ is the only path that leads to life, being and remaining salt of the earth means committing to choose Jesus and the life of integrity he calls us to live

Since we all have a plank of sin in our own eye, it’s impossible to discern other people’s relationship with God, without first discerning our own. Being salt of the earth first requires us to receive God’s grace to grow the self awareness to change in our relationships.  

Being and remaining salt of the earth is incompatible with a life filled with the pursuit of the worries of the world. Worry erodes trust & contentment in Jesus. Instead we should relentlessly pursue God’s kingdom and His righteousness first to put worries in their place.
