Pastor Tom Clinkscale

<p><span dir="auto" class="style-scope yt-formatted-string">We build Christ's community into the loving community God designed it to be when we battle bitterness together.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto" class="style-scope yt-formatted-string">A Fellowship of Christ expresses itself in being forgiving of one another, always giving thanks to God for His grace to do so because of who we are in Christ.</span></p>

<p>Entering and walking in God's kingdom is only possible as we honestly admit our need for God, recognize who you are in His eyes, and maintain an attitude of emptiness and a posture of receptivity</p>

<p>We must not rest content with a desert experience, but show all the diligence we can to reach the rest of deliverance and what keeps us in it.</p>

<p>The fullness of His presence among us requires each of us cleansing ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit.</p>

<p>Fashioning the Gospel to fit our lives fails in bringing God glory and keeps us from living out His purpose for us as His creation.</p>

<p>Ongoing spiritual inventory of our lives and our life together as the church are essential to ongoing growth.<br></p>

<p>Testing and examining the genuineness of our faith are essential steps in moving forward in our pursuit of health and growth/maturity as followers of Christ, and as an interconnected body of Christ, the local church.</p>

<p>Seeing and being shocked by God's Grace toward the unrighteous and the self-righteous will reveal the blind spot of my own gracelessness.</p>
