Celebration – Rejoice in the Lord

Psalm 126
When the returned exiles hear God’s word, Nehemiah insists they trade tears for feasting because “the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Paul, writing from prison, repeats “rejoice” until the chains almost rattle in rhythm. Jesus pictures heaven itself being overjoyed over one lost sheep or coin found. Celebration testifies that grace is real, forgiveness final, and the future bright—even while wounds still heal.
Every member ministry

Ephesians 4:11-16
Clergy and Church staff aim to be equippers, but the ministry belongs to the saints – us all! Church is better thought of as a jigsaw, whereby all the parts make up the whole. God gifts each individual with qualities to achieve their ultimate purposes in their local contexts.
From crowd to family

Acts 2:42-47
Church isn’t an event we watch but a covenant family we belong to. Jesus had crowds that followed him throughout his ministry because they came to see what he could do; to some of them, he was a spectacle and remained so. But Jesus showed them the power of God in him, not to entertain but to save; to invite them into the family of God.
