Cheering For Each Other
Human beings need reminders about how to get along, and Christians are no exception. We especially need reminders about how to love each other while we disagree.
Paul draws the believers' hearts and minds back to what Jesus has done, and that paves the way for loving each other well through conflict.

- Reflect on the issues that often spark discussions and disagreements in your relationships. What are they, and how do they affect your interactions?
- Explain how “we belong to the LORD” provides perspective to any disagreement between Christians.
- What is the root of contempt? What does that grow out of in our lives?
- Verse 12 states that 'each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.' How does this truth resonate with you? How does it make you feel in your ‘tummy’? And what are your hopes for that day?

Recent Sermons
Acts 2:40-47 - As a church, we’re taking some time to talk about our vision and strategy. We’re hoping to add clarity to why and how we do what we do in this season.
Psalm 129 is a bit of a nasty Psalm! The writer has been oppressed and doesn’t hold back in expressing what that feels like. You might think being a believer means your troubles disappear, but that has never been the case. The good news is that God is neither blind nor indifferent to our struggles.
Psalm 131 - The Psalms of Ascent have it all: anguish, anger, encouragement, and wild joy. Psalm 131 is all about contentment. Where does contentment come from? What ruins it? What does it feel like? How can I be content in an age where marketing, social media and mirrors breed discontent?
Psalm 133 - The Psalms of Ascent were songs for the journey—worshippers sang them as they travelled together toward Jerusalem and the Temple. These Psalms give voice to the sorts of things that go through worshippers' hearts as they prepare to worship.
Psalm 104 is a song of praise that marvels at the beauty and order of God’s creation. From mountains to seas, seasons to creatures great and small, it reveals a world sustained by His power and care. This psalm invites us to stand in awe, give thanks, and consider our role as stewards of His handiwork.
Psalm 121 - We humans need help! The question is, where will we turn for it? Psalm 121 invites us to look to God for true help.
