Most of us struggle to have others into our homes on a regular basis for one reason or another, yet we are commanded in Scripture to care well for one another with the resources we’ve been given. Here are four fears we often face when it comes to practicing hospitality.
Why do we observe the Lord’s Supper? The Lord’s Supper is a sign of the new covenant and should draw our attention to: (1) the crucifixion and resurrection and (2) the second coming of Christ. Through it, Christ shows his unexplainable grace to us through his death and resurrection and promise to come again to gather us together with him.
What is it about baptism that calls for a church-wide celebration? To understand why we celebrate, we have to consider what baptism is and be reminded of why baptism is such a wondrous event!
In our church covenant, we commit to “cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech.” Sympathy and courtesy are not naturally occurring characteristics. Even if we possess humility, gentleness, and peace, we must work at bearing with each other and keeping unity. Here are two ways we can work to cultivate this sort of sympathy towards one another.
As creatures of habit, we like the songs we already know and sing. So why would we invest our time and energy to learn and sing new songs? In this article, our Director of Worship, Paul Gandy, helps us to consider why we should sing new songs and lists the six new songs we will add to our song bank in the coming months. Take some time to listen to them, become familiar with them, consider the lyrics, and search out the truths taught in each one!

In this article, we discuss why it’s important to arrive on time for corporate worship as well as ways to help us arrive early each Sunday!

As we endure the unprecedented times brought about by COVID-19, we should give our minds to consider how our Church Covenant, drawn from the truths of Scripture, should inform the way we live amidst challenges like this.
Though we’re weary and uneasy, our hope is not that things will get easier, or that the world will go back to normal, but that the Lord will draw us to Himself, that his glory will be made manifest in these times, and that one day, we will be made like him. In the meantime, we fix our eyes on Jesus.
