Philosophy
The Ridge Church lives to glorify God – loving Jesus, loving people and seeing lives transformed to live for Jesus. We have been called to live this out globally and locally (the mission) and we have essential beliefs as we move down the highway of life, that we hold dear to, so we do not get off focus and fall away. To help us stay focused and on mission we must have a system of values and principles by which we live and function by as a church, a philosophy - in ministry it is important to have the right mindset and attitude toward how things should be done.

A Warning Label (1 Corinthians 2:6-16)
Paul contrasts divine wisdom with human wisdom. Divine wisdom is distinct from, cannot be reconciled with, and is ultimately opposed to human wisdom. Divine wisdom has a divine origin rather than a human origin: it is revealed by the Holy Spirit and not discerned by man's efforts. Divine wisdom is rooted in and revealed in the gospel and the cross. The cross provokes us to humility and gratitude.

Acts 17:16-34 - Turning from Idols
The Apostle Paul traveled to Athens, where he was immediately troubled by all of the idols that he saw in town. He began to share the Gospel with the people and debated with the Epicureans and the Stoics. He was then brought before the local heads of philosophy at Mars Hill and preached the Gospel to them, explaining how God had created all people and He now wanted all people to turn from their useless idols and trust in Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. We can think it strange that people would bow down to stone statues but we all have things in our lives like possessions, relationships, comforts, and pleasures, that we devote ourselves to and expect to make us happy and content instead of our relationship with God, and we need to turn from these idols and trust in Christ for our salvation and satisfaction.
