We are an independent Reformed congregation – we recognize, rejoice in, and rest on the absolute sovereignty of God (Psalm 115:3; Isaiah 46:9-10; Ephesians 1:11-12)

We embrace the basic theological principles of the Protestant Reformation, summarized in what has been called the “5 Solas” (alone)

-Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone) – the Bible alone is our highest authority
-Sola Christus (Christ alone) – Jesus Christ alone is our Lord, Savior and King
-Sola Gratia (Grace alone) – we are saved by the grace of God alone
-Sola Fide (Faith alone) – we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ alone
-Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God alone) – we live for the glory of God alone

Our goal is to be true to the unchanging mission of the Church

-Make disciples through the proclamation of the gospel (Matthew 28:18-20)
-Provide spiritual care and nurturing by equipping God’s people through sound teaching that brings deeper understanding, leading to greater transformation, demonstrated in ever-increasing obedience and love for God and others (Acts 2:42-47)
-Rightly administer the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 28:19; Luke 22:14-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
-Provide for the physical needs of the poor/needy among us (Acts 6:1-2; Galatians 6:9-10)
-Encourage the generous use of particular gifts which God has blessed individuals (Romans 12:3-8; 1 Peter 4:10-11)
-To deal charitably and generously with one another, realizing that as Christians, we are simply sinners saved by the grace of God (John 13:34-35; Ephesians 2:8-9)

Hated, Excluded, Reviled For Christ

The world may hate you, exclude you, revile you, and call your name evil, but none of those things can change who you are in Christ. Jesus tells His people not to be surprised when faithfulness brings opposition. Yet suffering is not blessed merely because we are disliked. The blessing belongs to those who are rejected on account of the Son of Man, because they proclaim the truth without compromise while remaining gracious, patient, charitable, and sincere. Christians are not called to provoke others through pride, harshness, or self-righteousness, but to speak the truth in love, trusting the Holy Spirit to change hearts. When rejection comes because of Christ, we can rejoice, knowing that the prophets and apostles walked this same path and that our reward is great in heaven.

The approval of the world is temporary, but the love of Christ is eternal. Though believers may be hated here, they are forever and unconditionally loved by Jesus. Though excluded by others, they are fully included in God’s family through adoption. Though reviled, they are comforted by the tender voice of their Savior. Though their names are spurned as evil, their names are known by Christ and written in the Book of Life. The Christian life will bring loss, pain, and opposition, but Christ has overcome the world. Therefore, we can remain faithful without becoming angry, defeated, or discouraged, because our identity, security, and hope rest not in human acceptance, but in the Savior who died for us, holds us fast, and will never leave or forsake us.

Rejoice

The world often feels chaotic, unjust, and out of control. Yet Psalm 97 begins with a simple, unshakable truth:“The Lord reigns.” Because Christ is King, God's people have every reason to rejoice. Though His ways are sometimes mysterious and His justice is not yet fully visible, His throne is founded on perfect righteousness and justice. The gospel is advancing, Christ's kingdom is growing, and a day is coming when every rival power, idol, and rebellious authority will be brought low before Him. The reign of Jesus is not merely a future hope but a present reality that gives believers confidence, joy, and assurance even in a fallen world.

Because Christ reigns, Christians are called to live like citizens of His kingdom. That means actively hating evil, pursuing righteousness, proclaiming the gospel, and trusting God's preservation of His people. Rather than retreating from the darkness around them, believers are to serve as agents of light, calling people everywhere to repent and submit to Christ. While awaiting His return and the final revelation of His righteous rule, God's people are to rejoice, give thanks, and persevere in faithful obedience, knowing that light is sown for the righteous and joy awaits those whose hope is in the Lord.

Out of the Depth Comes Mercy

Sin rarely announces the destruction it brings. It draws us gently into seemingly calm waters, inviting us to go a little farther until we find ourselves sinking with no hope of escape on our own. From those depths, Psalm 130 teaches us to cry urgently to the Lord. If God kept a record of our iniquities, no one could stand before Him. Yet with Him there is forgiveness. Our sins are many and serious, but for those who repent and trust in Christ, His mercy is greater. Jesus entered the depths of wrath and death, paid the debt of His people in full, and rose again so that all who call upon Him can find abundant pardon and redemption.

God’s mercy should never make us casual about sin. It should lead us to confess it, hate it, and put it to death while reverently worshiping the God who forgives. Even when the weight of conviction remains, we can wait for the Lord like watchmen waiting for the morning, trusting His Word and knowing that He hears our cries. Search the Scriptures, continue in prayer, and keep His ways while you wait. There is a Redeemer who rescues, forgives, and restores His people to the path of righteousness. His name is Jesus Christ, and with Him there is plentiful redemption.

Weep Now, Laugh Later

What if one of the clearest signs of spiritual life is not how little you grieve over sin, but how deeply you do? Jesus says, “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.” The Christian life is not marked by pretending sin is no big deal, but by seeing it for what it is: rebellion against the God who loved us, saved us, and continues to show us mercy. Yet that sorrow is not hopeless. It drives us to confession, repentance, forgiveness, and renewed joy in Christ.

The world laughs off sin, excuses it, and reshapes it into something acceptable. But those who belong to Christ are given new eyes to see, new hearts to grieve, and new hope to be restored. Conviction is not evidence that God has abandoned His people; it is evidence that He loves them too much to leave them where they are. Those who weep over sin today will one day laugh without sorrow, guilt, or shame, because Christ has secured their forgiveness and their future forever.

Stay Hungry

What if the things most people spend their lives pursuing are the very things keeping them from true satisfaction? Jesus turns the world's values upside down by declaring blessings on the poor, the hungry, and those who recognize their need. The greatest danger is not having too little, but believing you already have enough. Success, comfort, wealth, reputation, and achievement can never satisfy the hunger of the soul because they were never meant to replace Christ. Those who come to Him empty discover a fullness that the world cannot provide.

The Christian life is marked by a continual hunger for righteousness, a growing desire to know Christ, follow Him, and delight in Him above all else. That hunger is nourished through God's Word, prayer, the sacraments, and fellowship with His people. While the world urges us to seek satisfaction in temporary things, Jesus promises that those who hunger for Him will be satisfied. The call is simple: stay hungry for Christ, because only He can fill what nothing else ever will.

Are You Poor?

Jesus teaches that true blessing belongs to those who recognize their need for God. The poor in spirit understand that they have nothing apart from His grace and depend upon Him for every good thing. Rather than trusting in themselves, they trust God's promises, wait on His provision, and find their contentment in Christ, knowing that He is sufficient for every circumstance of life.

Jesus also warns of the danger of self-sufficiency. Wealth, comfort, and success can create the illusion that we do not need God. The contrast is clear: the world is never satisfied and always seeks more, while the believer learns to rest in what God has provided. True blessing is found not in earthly abundance, but in humble dependence upon the Lord.

The Believer’s Profile

Jesus’ teaching in Luke 6 presents a portrait of the true believer. The characteristics He describes are not a checklist for earning God’s favor or a set of ideals that people can achieve through self-effort. They are the evidence of a heart transformed by grace. Humility, a hunger for righteousness, sorrow over sin, compassion, forgiveness, and love for enemies are the fruit of the Holy Spirit’s work in those who belong to Christ. These qualities reveal what it means to be a new creation and show the world the reality of a life surrendered to Jesus.

Christ’s kingdom stands in sharp contrast to the values of the world. While many pursue wealth, comfort, approval, influence, and self-fulfillment, Jesus points His followers to a deeper blessing found in dependence upon Him. Those who know Christ hold loosely to earthly things, endure opposition with grace, and care more about the eternal welfare of others than their own comfort or reputation. As believers grow in faith and learn to trust Christ more fully, their lives increasingly reflect His character, becoming a witness to the transforming power of the gospel and the hope that is found in Him alone.

The Big Picture

Jesus' calling of the twelve apostles may seem like a brief transition in Luke's Gospel, but it reveals something much bigger. By stepping back and viewing Luke together with Acts, we see Christ intentionally establishing the men who would carry His ministry forward after His ascension. Their calling echoes Old Testament patterns, particularly Moses and the elders of Israel, and demonstrates that God's redemptive plan was unfolding exactly as He intended.

The big picture is that Christ's work did not end with His earthly ministry. The apostles were commissioned, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and sent to proclaim the coming Kingdom to the nations. Today, the church stands on that apostolic foundation and continues the same mission—faithfully proclaiming the gospel, calling people to repentance and faith, and bearing witness that Jesus Christ reigns as King.
