From the Pastor

Christian love is not blind love, but love informed by knowledge and insight, empowering us to determine the course of action to bring love to completion. How do we decide how to be more effective in living out the love of Christ in our location, culture, and world? The easy thing to do is to take no course of action and claim ignorance when working out love and concern for others. The difficult yet engaging task is to reason within ourselves and each other to determine the best course of action in working out love and concern for others. Yet, in so doing, God brings to completion his work within and among us.  How can we be more effective in living out the love and compassion of God wherever we find ourselves so that this promise comes to completion: “Filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God” (Philippians 1:11 New Living Translation).
