A Leap of Faith in our Churches
Are we willing to take a leap of faith in our churches? Are we willing to unite under the banner of Christ? Are we willing to take a leap of faith out of bitterness and into unity? Are you willing to say to god that no matter what may happen i will trust you? Are we willing to unite in Christ? If the church is not going to be united, how are we any different than the world.

I WIll Be Happy...When I am Understood
When was the last time you were frustrated for not being understood? We all deal with discord and disagreement. What should we do? How should we respond? Consider what Paul says here regarding unity and the gospel. Ultimately, what matters most is that Jesus wins. When we are filled with the gospel, we will be happy...whether we are understood by others or not, because we know that God knows us and that is all that really matters.

In the face of the cross and the gospel there is no room for our pride, because they highlight that we have nothing good in ourselves.

John the Apostle argues that when we deny Jesus as God, we enable sin to fill our lives which leads primarily to broken fellowship with others. We look at holiness and how it's measured by our fellowship with God's people.
