God hates loneliness, and community is God's answer to loneliness. When we walk alongside other people, we find a community where we learn how to love.

Possessions only provide temporary happiness.

God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.

God is not just the starting point of your life; he is the source of it.

People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!

People respond to vision, not need.

Absolutely nothing will revitalize a discouraged church faster than rediscovering it's purpose.
