SUPER People - Awesome God

Supportive relationships within Skyline community.  We celebrate God’s gift of community and encourage relationship building through small groups, where people experience care through prayer, support and unconditional love. 

(See Colossians 3:12-17) And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Colossians 3:15 (NLT)

Unique relationship with Jesus Christ.We celebrate that God reaches out to us in Jesus Christ, recognizing that we are all on unique spiritual journeys.  We encourage people to grow in their relationship with Christ and we offer a variety of ways to express and develop that relationship. 

(See Ephesians 2:4-10) God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God.  Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.  For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:8-10 (NLT)

Partners in ministry.We celebrate the Holy Spirit in our midst by recognizing, developing, and employing spiritual gifts, which all work together to build up the community.  (See 1 Corinthians 12:1-11)  We accept and respect one another, being open to the differences among us, and resolving conflict face-to-face with honesty, forgiveness and grace. 

(See 1 Cor. 12:6-7 and Matthew 18:15-20) There are different ways God works in our lives, but it is the same God who does the work through all of us.  A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church. 1 Cor. 12:6-7 (NLT)

"If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the fault. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. Matthew 18:15 (NLT)

Experiential worship.We celebrate God’s love for us in joyful, creative worship.  Surrounded by a warm and inviting community of disciples, we allow the Holy Spirit to create an environment where people experience God’s presence and love for themselves. 

(Matthew 18:20) For where two or three gather together because they are mine, I am there among them." Matthew 18:20 (NLT) 

Relational reaching.We celebrate offering our whole lives in service, reaching out and developing relationships to give both a “cup of cold water” (Matthew 10:42) and the “Living Water” (John 4:10-14) in mission and outreach.

(James 2:14-17) So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith. Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all—it is dead and useless. James 2:17 (NLT)
