This Weekend

This weekend we are going to spend some time looking at the fundamental beliefs we have at Real Life Church. We are going to talk about some scriptures that help define us as a church. When we do that we do it so that we can become more united. We don't do it because we believe we are better than any other church or because we believe we have the corner on the faith. So, this weekend as we step into some deeper faith waters and talk a little theology there are a few things that we need to keep in mind.

  1. We believe we are to have unity in the essentials.
  2. We Believe in Liberty for the non-essentials.
  3. In all areas we will show grace.
Simply put. If it's imperative to the faith we cannot change it ant its not up for discussion. If its our opinion there is room to talk. In all things we will treat people with love and respect. We realize that good people who love God can read the same scripture and get a different meaning. We realize that they are seeking God's will just as we are. We also realize that our differences are not because God has made his word unclear but because we are sinful people.

I am really looking forward to the rest of our series! Can you tell?
