So how do we avoid reckless words that cut like a sword and instead use wise words to bring healing?

Proverbs 12

What's God's purpose for His church? As we study Scripture, we know there is a Great Commission to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and make disciples, but how do we practically apply that mission? Specifically at Grace Bible Church, we feel called to connect every person with God's grace.

We are surrounded by churches that have lost their purpose. Many of them follow their own broken purposes instead of the true purposes of church set forth by Scripture when it describes the church as the Bride, Body, and Building of Christ. Knowing this, how do we get back on track?

Ephesians 2:19-22

Everyone has an origin and a destination. Unfortunately, there is often pain and brokenness found in our pasts and futures.

A poorly handled Winter Break can lead to spiritual disengagement, self absorption, and moral failure. Such a pattern can be seen by King David.
