Core Values That Shape Us: Love, Kindness, and Excellence
In a world filled with chaos, distractions, and stress, protecting your peace is essential. We often try to find peace in external things—our routines, relationships, or even moments of silence—but true peace is not found in circumstances. Real peace comes from God’s presence.
Life is full of decisions—some we celebrate, and others we wish we could take back. We often seek guidance for our next move, praying for open doors and opportunities. But what about the times when God closes a door? What if the stops in our lives are just as divinely orchestrated as the steps?
Imagine you’re one of the disciples in the boat that night. You’ve been rowing for hours against the wind, exhausted when suddenly, you see something—or someone—walking toward you on the water.
Too often, when we mess up, we feel shame and guilt, as if Jesus stands over us, saying, "Look what you did!" But that's not who He is. He didn't come to point fingers, judge, or remind us of our worst moments. He came to erase the sin that separated us from God.
Have you ever noticed the "Caution: Wide Turns" sign on the back of tractor-trailers? That sign warns drivers that the truck may need extra space to safely navigate a turn—meaning it can't just make a sharp, quick move like a smaller car. Instead, it has to swing wide, sometimes even moving in the opposite direction before completing the turn.
As we enter a new year, the weight of past challenges or lingering doubts may tempt us to give up hope. Life can be unpredictable, and hard times will undoubtedly come. However, in these very moments, we must hold on to the unshakable truth: God is with us.
When we think of generosity, money often comes to mind. But at GO-CHURCH, generosity goes far beyond financial giving. It’s about offering your time, talents, encouragement, and even a listening ear to those in need.
As a church family, we are more than just a group of people who meet on Sundays; we are a community united in faith, love, and service. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in our own lives and forget the importance of reaching out to others. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to extend our hearts and hands to those around us.
