The Gospel doesn’t just call us to action as individuals, but to certain actions as a local church. Our Christian identity shapes the way we live together in community.

The Gospel calls us to action; this is enabled by what God has already done in our lives.

Living out grace under the pressure of life can be difficult. Peter’s first letter encourages us to secure in our Christian identity, learn how to suffer well, and focus on future glory.

Easter at Lima Baptist Temple. We love because He first loved us.

Hope is a big deal. A lack of hope will destroy you, but hope in Jesus Christ brings life to you and those around you. People will ask about the hope you have.

As a disciple, God is growing in us the essentials: faith, hope, and love. When it comes to faith we have to remember, the object of our faith is more important than the size of our faith.

The more we grow in our awareness of God’s Holy Character and the awareness of our sinful desires, the more we grow in our relationship with God.

Choose wisely because our choices and actions not only have consequences in the present, but also in the future. We will always reap what we sow.
