What does the Bible teach us about making wise decisions? | Ephesians 5:6-17

All worldviews try to explain the existence of suffering. But Christianity is the only one that ultimately takes our suffering seriously while providing a real hope unparalleled in the history of the world. | Mark 15:22-27; 29-32; 37

Even to longtime Christians, God can oftentimes appear reticent, even silent. Sometimes, God does things that feel extraordinary, but most of the time -- from our experience -- he seems to be elusive. The cross clearly shows us it's not because he doesn't care or because he doesn't want to be intimate with us. Rather, the character of God shows there are reasons and wisdom for his subtle -- even puzzling -- ways. | Psalm 13

Pastor Kee and Pastor Hudson will be having a public conversation about what they'd like to see in our church community. They will also take some time at the end of the conversation to address some of the hopes congregants may have for the church.

Paul lays out God's plan for the church in Ephesians 4: God gives the church leaders to equip its members; when that is done -- when members are equiped and serving one another -- growth happens and the body functions with healthy unity and is able to resist from drifting into error and a path that leads away from the will of God.This is why Paul's letters are filled with ""one another"" exhortations. Only when the members of the body are collectively ministering to one another (as opposed to the pastors simply ministering to its members), only then is the church the community that God wants it to be.In this sermon, we will be looking at the foundational community plan that God has for the church. In addition to this, we will explore some of the ""one another"" passages to see exactly what it looks like to live as a Christian community.
