For those who are in Christ, God promises to sanctify you personally, completely, and faithfully.

Why do we come to church? Because Jesus is coming back, and coming to church is how we stay ready.

We reflect the goodness of Christ to us when we always seek to do good to one another.

What does it look like to relate well to our pastors while we prepare each other for the return of Jesus? Paul says we should respect them, and we should love them.

Followers of Jesus are to stay alert and watchful as they wait for His return.

Can grief and hope go together?

Christian ambition is fueled and formed by love.

Pursuing a deeper knowledge and love of God makes us more and more like Jesus.

An everyday awareness of Jesus' return brings an everyday urgency to our love for one another. 

Christian love is marked by a godly vigilance over the spiritual condition of others.

We want to be people centered on God’s word. Why? Because God speaks through his word, he sanctifies through his word, and he saves only through his word.

With two powerful metaphors, Paul shows us the care at the heart of our growth as Christians.

Heathy local churches are marked by gospel-centered methods and fueled by a God-centered motive.

God’s power shows up in us when we willingly trade our best lives now for the joy of waiting for Jesus.

What do you want your church to be known for? And what sort of church are you working to build?
