The thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians describes a love that is patient, kind, humble, and enduring. It reminds us that “love never faileth.” In a world where so much feels temporary and uncertain, God gives us something that does not collapse under pressure—Christlike love.
True Christian love is not fragile. It does not collapse at the first offense. It suffers long. It bears with weakness. It hopes. It endures. This kind of love is not driven by emotion alone; it is anchored in commitment. It chooses grace when irritation would be easier. It chooses understanding when misunderstanding would be quicker. It chooses peace when pride would prefer to win.
Scripture: “Giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” — Ephesians 4:3 (ASV)
Dear Church Family,
Unity is not automatic; it must be guarded. Paul urges believers to give “diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” That word diligence implies effort. Unity requires intention.
Every healthy church experiences moments where misunderstandings could grow if not handled carefully. The enemy delights in small offenses that become large divisions. But Scripture calls us to something higher.
Scripture: “Let all that ye do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14 (ASV)
Dear Church Family,
February often turns our thoughts toward love, but Scripture reminds us that love is not merely a sentiment—it is a command. The Apostle Paul writes, “Let all that ye do be done in love.” Not some things. Not only easy things. All things.
As we draw closer to the Holiday Season in which we celebrate a time of thankfulness just prior to remembering and appreciating the birth of our Savior, we thought it would be nice to observe the Thanksgiving season in a unique way.
During the month of November we will dedicate space on one of our walls in the church foyer as a “Wall of Thanks”. On this space we will hang paper, and we are asking each and every person who would like to share a thought, testimonial or drawing of what they are thankful for by using the supplied colored pencils to share.
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I’m writing today with heartfelt congratulations on your incredible achievement of completing the marathon! What a testimony of endurance, commitment, and perseverance—not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually.
