I Will Grow Together with OthersIn Acts 2 we get some insight into how the early church worked. They spent time together in both large and small group settings. Christianity is intended to be lived out among other believers, but that one meeting each Sunday staring at the backs of the heads of others is not enough. We must be more connected with others in the church to grow the way God intends.

I Will Worship with OthersIn John 4:24 we read, "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."

- Jul 24, 2016Count the Cost
Count the CostIn the Parable of the Tower, Jesus makes the point that a builder would not begin a tower without first considering the cost. Although there are blessings in following Jesus, it is not always an easy path. What will that commitment cost?
