Truth Matters: The Bible’s Role in the Church (3 of 4)
Series: Core Values

Psalm 119:33-40

Throughout our services and especially our time in preaching, we continually desire to be sensitive to the needs of those who are unchurched. So five values: Worship, deep teaching of the Word, intimate fellowship, aggressive evangelism, and compassionate social concern. When you find a church that's strong on all of them, it's a sign of the operation of the Spirit of God. The tendency is for most churches to have one of them only and to ...
