We’re a community of broken people seeking to grow in faith, hope, and love. All of us have real problems. Each of us is a work in progress. Yet, our hope is that through worship, prayer, friendship, and service, we can grow together into the community of love that God has created us to be.
Are you looking for answers in the midst of suffering or confusion? Do you hunger to belong to a community of love and service? Are you curious to find out how Jesus Christ has changed the lives of other people just like you? If so, come and meet us. We would love to show you the path that leads to forgiveness, peace, joy, and hope.
It’s easy for us to think that our toils amount to nothing more than the imprint of a wave on sand that is erased by the next surge. Not so, says Paul. Keep your eyes on heaven and you will see the divine eye overlooks no act of charity or kindness. Our works of service are more durable than the stars in the sky.
I must have been only seven or eight years old when my grandmother, who had become a Christian a few years earlier, told me in a very serious fashion that the Bible is not effective if it is closed. The Bible only works if it is kept open, she said.
Only when we start to see our sin as God sees it will we genuinely have “a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart” (verse 17). It is then that we can ask God to create a pure heart and renew a steadfast spirit within us (verse 10) and to restore the joy of our salvation (verse 12). In fact, the more we understand what our sin really is, the more we understand the depths of God’s amazing love and mercy towards us
