FROM THE SENIOR PASTOR

The Fruitful Life

On Sunday, I conclude the series on “The Seven Deadly Sins.” Instead of focusing on the deadly sins, we will think of the joy of living a life pleasing to the Lord where we bear fruit. The wages of sin is death, but the life of faith is pleasing God, blessing others, and experiencing Christ’s peace and joy.  


Rather than being dominated by these seven deadly sins which so easily creep into our lives, we want our lives to count for God. I very much appreciated all of your encouraging feedback on this series. The more we understand the gravity of sin, the greater appreciation we have of the immeasurable riches of His grace. So let’s keep shining with the beauty of our Lord Jesus!
