Here’s a quiz question: what is the distinguishing mark of Christ-followers? ANSWER: According to John 13:35 (NLT), “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” Our love for another is what marks us as followers of Jesus and this is what we will be studying this Sunday.

Love One Another

Happy Thanksgiving! Have you ever felt like you were going to drown? It’s hard to give thanks when you are drowning. Picture it! You are alone, miles from shore, yelling “thanks” in between the bobs and gulps for air. Probably not! Expressions of gratitude are usually not the words coming out of a drowning person’s lips. Words of thanksgiving come AFTER somebody who is drowning is rescued. This Sunday we are going to look at Psalm 69 and find help! Some of us may feel like we are drowning with the waves of life overwhelming us. However, I want to remind you that Jesus can turn your trouble into thanksgiving.

From Trouble to Thanksgiving

Think back to a time when someone was kind to you. I bet it made a lasting impression on you. You and I have the daily opportunity to be kind as well. Kindness and compassion should always be our response to others because Jesus has been and is so kind and compassionate to us. This is what we will learn and be reminded of from Ephesians 4:32 as Steve Adams will be here to preach this Sunday.

Be Kind & Compassionate

Hospitality! Maybe you have read the news on how the “Hospitality Industry” has taken a massive hit during the pandemic? Certainly travel, hotels, restaurants and all the cottage industries that go with it have experienced financial hardship during these past couple of years. But what about our own practice of hospitality? It probably has been struggling too. Maybe you are out of practice with your hospitality? Keep it simple! This is what we will learn from 1 Peter 4:9 this coming Sunday. We don’t have to be the host with the most or "hostess with the mostest”! There is not a need to impress people. We just need to be hospitable without grumbling. Jonathan Stairs | Temple Baptist Church

Offer Hospitality

Agree with One Another  1 Corinthians 1:10

Agree With One Another

Galatians 5:13 Pastor Kyle Rhora preaching.

Serve One Another in Love.

Greetings! It might sound rather simple but how we welcome and greet one another is extremely important. I apologize in advance to bring up any painful past but just think back to a time when you weren’t greeted. It sort of feels like you are invisible to people. Steve Adams will help us learn the skill of greeting one another from Romans 16:16. Jesus welcomed us into God’s forever family so let us excel at welcoming others.

Greet One Another

Live in Harmony with One Another. Romans 12:16   Harmony! Why do our ears so appreciate when people sing in unison and create harmony? I think we appreciate harmony because it points us to a greater harmony when people live in unison and ultimately the greatest harmony when we will live together with God and His people forever in the new heavens and new earth in unison. Maybe this is why we are commanded to live in harmony with one another? Pastor Kyle Rhora will guide us through Romans 12:16 as we try to build the gospel skill of living in harmony with one another.

Live in Harmony

Dr. Wayne Baxter teaches us what it means to be family from Romans 12:10.

We are family!

You are worthy of honour! Why? You are worthy of honour because you belong to Jesus Christ. I love how the ESV commands us in Romans 12:10, “Outdo one another in showing honour.” Can you imagine if we had a competition in our church in trying to honour each other? That would be more fun than winning the Stanley Cup! How can you outdo one another in showing honour? Church Coach Steve Adams will be unpacking this important practice for us this week.

Honour One Another

Do you feel accepted? I think this is the longing of every heart - to feel like you belong to another or a group. This week, Pastor Jason will teach us from Romans 15:7 that welcoming and accepting those who are followers of Jesus Christ is a command of God. I love what I heard someone say, “We accept you as you are, but love you enough to want to see you change.”

Welcome One Another

This Sunday we are starting a new series entitled “One Anothers.” There are a number of practical instructions in the New Testament on how we are to live in relationship with one another and so, Lord willing, for the remainder of the year we hope to learn about and live out these one anothers. This week we will learn how to instruct one another from Romans 15:14.

Instruct One Another

A Gospel Marriage

What does it mean to “pray in the Spirit”? Are we just praying in our spirit rather than out loud? Or are we cooperating in our inner being to pray with the Holy Spirit the prayers He wants us to pray? And how do we know if we are effectively praying in the Spirit? Is this simply a matter of being prompted to pray for a fellow believer? Is “praying in the Spirit” a matter of being given words to share the gospel when we otherwise might be hesitant, even afraid? One of our Elders, Dr. Wayne Baxter, will examine some of these questions and unpack this important practice from Ephesians 6:18-24.
