Pastor Brent opens a short sermon series on our church’s core values: Welcoming, Transforming, Sending. These three markers of our church are truly centered on the gospel. We begin this week by examining the biblical foundation for why we are a welcoming church where there is a distinct sense of family and commitment to each other. This stems from the gospel: We are sinners saved by grace, we have received a gift, and we have been welcomed into God’s household. Therefore, we extend the same grace for each other and open our lives to follow Christ together.
