A good church is one that grows to be more and more like Christ. Paul explains in Ephesians 4:15 that a demonstration of this is that we can speak the truth in love. What does it mean for the church to be a place of truth telling? How can we tell the truth in love and not be jerks?
People Before Progress
Have you ever felt overlooked? Almost like you were in the way of someone getting something done? Or maybe you’ve seen the disappointment in someone else’s eyes as they felt sidelined in the pursuit of a program or goal. This feeling is not uncommon, and it reveals a crucial tension we often face: balancing the drive for progress with the need for personal connection.
Grace-Shaped Community
Whether it’s the pressure to conform, fear of failure, or a sense of inadequacy, fear has a way of showing up in our lives. The same fears we may experience at work or school to fit in, the anxiety that can cripple us because we fear failure, or our struggle feeling like an imposter can sometimes be amplified in a church community because our expectations of that community are the exact opposite.
A Community of Compassion
What does it mean to be God’s chosen people? Well, it means a few things. First, that God desires for us to be known by Him and to know Him. Secondly, it means that as His people, like the people of any city or country, we live in the context of a culture with expectations and standards. So what is, or should be, the culture of God’s people?
