As believers we are called to fellowship. It is tremendously difficult to cultivate and grow your faith unless you are involved with people with a common pursuit who can help you during struggles as you do the same for them. (Colossians 2:2) My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in…

As we grow in fellowship and relation with other believers we are exposed to the God they know. Most likely a picture of God painted by parents, older relatives, previous church experience, friends, etc. We are asked to come together with other believers to be able to more fully understand the Infinite God (Colossians 2:2).…

2 Peter 1:7-9 The greatest command of all is love. It is no coincidence that love is the top step in the staircase of spiritual maturity. It is also the culmination of all of the Fruits of the Spirit. The ability to love God with all you are and to love your neighbor as yourself…

We have a tendency as fallible human beings to view people through a filter of our own life experience. We see people through our strengths. It’s hard to be vulnerable in a world that looks to devour us. (1 Peter 5:8) Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to…
