God’s beautiful love COMPELLS us to seek first His kingdom on earth by modeling to others what it means to abide in Christ. As imperfect clay molded by the Potter, our lives or vessels should be intentional in being the hands and feet of Christ. We trust the Holy Scripture and Holy Spirit to guide our hands and convict our heart as we do the work of the Lord; not assigning love or action as any man-made, predisposed cultural expectation, political ideology or denominational nuance. Loving others well means living out of obedience to God’s will over man’s earthly desires.  As a church this starts by finding ways to demonstrate sacrificial love and support to the body of believers and organically overflows from the congregation into servant-leadership to our homes, communities, and world especially including those that persecute us for our faith.
