A pastor’s job is not to count how many people come on Sunday, but to make faith-filled, self-denying, fruit-bearing disciples.

What Jesus Christ offers in the gospel isn’t merely a band-aid for sin, but everlasting joy that outweighs any and every earthly pleasure.

The gospel isn’t just a solution to our sin, but a key that unlocks the fullness of life and joy that God desires for all his people.
