Making Known His Love
Scripture is full of commands to love one another; in fact, all of the law can be summed up in the word love. We are to love one another, and even to love our enemies. God intends for our love not to be merely abstract or sentimental, but real. Three of the images that God uses to describe the church capture aspects of how we are to love one another. The church is God's family, meaning that we have a unity in the gospel that overcomes all of our differences. The church is the body of Christ, meaning that we all have different functions, some of which may be more prominent than others, but all of us are needed, and we all need one another. The church is the temple of God, meaning that we exist for a far greater purpose than ourselves. We must take care of one another; this is commanded, and it provides a witness to the world, but most importantly, we do this because we love one another and we belong to one another.

Five Stones of Rememberance
Throughout redemptive history certain religious groups have gathered to say prayers, preach sermons, recite creeds, sing hymns and then as the gathering ended would exclaim, "That was church." At the same time heaven also makes an assessment about those same church services by asking, "This is church"? As we recount our story, on this final Sunday of 2006, can we come into agreement with heaven so we both can say, "This is church"! ~ Pastor Mel Five Stories of 2006 1. Babies, new Christ followers, additional staff, weddings...this is how the Lord added to the church family. 2. $100,000 Sunday 3.
