Love, Joy, Peace...

OUR FIVE PILLARS



POWERFUL WORSHIP

Worshiping God is more than just playing music alone.  Worship comes from the heart. Psalm 86:12;  O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks with my whole heart. I will honor your name continually.


PRAYING CONTINUALLY

We emphasize the power of prayer in all we do.  Isaiah 56:7;  Even those I will bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer.  Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.

PREACHING TRUTH

Truth is exclusive and absolute, and often offends the sinner.  Therefore, every sermon we deliver is expository in nature; book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse.  We read out of the Bible what it says (exegesis), not read into it what we want it to say (eisegesis).  Romans 1:18;  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.


PASSIONATELY LOVING

God's love for His elect is unconditional, unqualified, unmerited, and uncaused.  He loves us freely and completely, and because of His love we possess the ability to love others. 

Hosea 14:4; I will love them freely.  1st John 4:19; We love because He first loved us.

 

PURSUING THE LOST

A church that powerfully worships, prays continuously, preaches truth, and passionately loves will naturally possess the God-given desire to pursue the lost.  Evangelism is a foundational pillar of the Christian church.  Matthew 28:18-20;  And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
