Core Values: Part I: Excellence

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our commitment to excellence in serving God. The central theme revolves around Colossians 3:17, urging us to do everything 'in the name of the Lord Jesus.' This isn't about perfection, but about giving our best effort in gratitude for God's grace. We're reminded that God gave His very best - His Son Jesus - for our salvation. How can we then offer anything less than our best in return? This call to excellence isn't just about church activities, but extends to every aspect of our lives - our work, our relationships, and our daily choices. We're encouraged to see ourselves as representatives of Christ in the world, carrying His name wherever we go. This perspective can transform our attitude towards even mundane tasks, infusing them with purpose and significance. As we strive for excellence, we're not just improving ourselves, but potentially opening doors for others to encounter Christ through our actions and attitudes.
