Core Values Part III: Engagement
In our exploration of church core values, we've delved into the vital concept of engagement. Hebrews 10:24-25 serves as our scriptural foundation, reminding us of the importance of 'not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.' This passage isn't just about church attendance; it's a call to truly engage with one another, to 'provoke unto love and to good works.' We're challenged to consider: are we prioritizing our time, treasures, and talents for the betterment of our church family? The parallel drawn between God's engagement with humanity through Jesus Christ and our need to engage with fellow believers is particularly striking. Just as Christ left heaven to connect with us, we're called to step out of our comfort zones to truly know and support one another. This message isn't just about church life; it's about reflecting God's love in all our relationships, understanding that our spiritual growth is intimately tied to our engagement with others.
