People, objects, and ideas constantly compete for our allegiance. Worship is more than singing songs or giving offerings—it is the driving force that shapes our actions and motivations. In other words, whatever or whoever receives our allegiance also receives our worship. 

Scriptures:

Isaiah 43.10-12; 58; Amos 5.18-24; Micah 6.6-8; Mark 12.28-24; John 4.19-26; Revelation 12.11

Prayer should be more than an emergency call to God in difficult times. It is more than just verbal communication—every breath we take and every move we make can be an expression of prayer through word and deed, woven into our ongoing relationship with Him. Our goal is to live a life characterized by prayer, one that reflects and exudes God’s presence in all we do, all we say, and everywhere we go. 

Scriptures:

2 Chronicles 7.14; Zechariah 4.1-7; Matthew 6.5-13; John 15.4-5; 1 Thessalonians 5.16-18; 2 Peter 2.5

Giving isn’t about appeasing God; it’s an expression of our relationship with Him. We give when two things are true: (1) God means more to us than just a provider of blessings, and (2) we recognize that He cares about how we steward His gifts—using them to love our community and serve others. As a community, we want to boldly demonstrate our love for God and actively participate in what Jesus is doing around us by investing all we’ve been blessed with, from our health to our resources. 

Scriptures:

Isaiah 29.13; Matthew 6.19-24; Romans 12.1-2, 13

Life is often challenging because it involves people. Yet, God continually shows us patience and grace each day. As followers of Jesus, we strive to love in the same way—practicing in this 'laboratory of love' called the church. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we seek to grow, mature, and be transformed so that others may encounter Jesus through us. 

Scriptures:

Mark 12.29-34; John 17.20-26; Romans 13.8-10; 2 Corinthians 5.11-6.10
