These are some things we are focusing on as to how we teach the gospel and Christian Living in our church. For lack of a better term, I am calling them our "Distinctives". What do you think?
Training people to be followers, not just believers – John 10:27
Genuinely loving people, not just making them feel welcome – 1 Cor. 13:1-3
Knowing God/Known by God, not just knowing about God – John 10:14; Gal. 4:9; 1 Cor. 8:3; Matt. 7:23
Giving Jesus our lives, not inviting him into our lives – 1 Cor. 6:20; Acts 20:28; Romans 12:2; Gal. 2:20
Authenticity in Worship, not just singing – John 4:24; Rom. 12:1; Isaiah 1:11-20
Seeking the lost, not just waiting for seekers to come to us – Luke 19:10; Luke 15:4-7, 8-10; Though they may...Rom. 3:11
Devoted to the living word as recorded in the Bible, not just motivational speeches – 2 Tim. 3:16; Heb. 4:12; Eph. 5:6; 1 Cor. 2:13; John 24:35; John 6:68; Matt. 7:24-27
God has prepared good works for you to do – Eph. 2:10; 2 Tim. 2:21; Eph. 4:12; Col. 3:23
Obeying Jesus because we love Him, empowered by the Holy Spirit, not manipulated by guilt to obey – John 14:15, 21, 23, John 15:10, 1 John 3:24; 1 John 5:3; Rev. 12:17; Rev. 14:12
