The Church

• ​is different than a social gathering

• people focused not person focused

• Every epistle is written to a church, not one person

• letters written to one person were about relationship to church

 

The Bible

• is our compass

• we don't look to culture for confirmation

• relevance doesn't decide what's right

• we don't vote on truth

• we love everyone, but we do stand on truth

 

Jesus

• is the lens through which we see scripture, our neighbors, and the world

• is who we model our lives AFTER
