As a kingdom minded church, we believe that the ultimate fulfillment of our purpose is to be vessels of His grace; giving of ourselves just as He completely gave Himself up for us. The life of a Christ Follower is not about being a spectator for a couple of hours on Sunday. Rather, we open the flood gates of heaven when we sacrificially give of our talents and time.

We want to have a posture that draws people to grow DEEP in their relationship with God, grow CLOSE with one another on our daily journey, and grow OUT into our community to reflect the Glory of God.
Growing Close

Psalm 1 tells the way to be blessed: Don’t walk in the counsel of the ungodly, don’t stand in the path of sinners, but delight in God’s word – meditating on it all the time. Yet if one has failed to do this and fallen into sin, Psalm 32 shows the way back to being blessed.
Blessed - Complete wellness of being, profound fulfillment.
Unity is built on the foundation of forgiveness.
3 Types of People:
The person who doesn’t think they need much forgiveness.
The person who thinks they can’t be forgiven.
The person who knows they need much forgiveness, and they find it.

Our blessing is confession of our sins, not covering them up.

The scale to determine the genuineness of guilt, God Word.
The Lens of Forgiveness:
3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.

The Teachability of Forgiveness:
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. 9 Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.

vs.9 - You are not teachable,
vs.10 - A very hard life.
