Christ-centered

Trinitarian

Bible sufficiency

Out of Christology comes ecclessiology, missionology, theology

What we are basically saying is the gospel changes everything.

Principlogoy (the idea of reducing the scriptures just to principles) Don’t do it, it minimizes the cross and Christ.

Creation
Fall
Redemption
Consummation

We wonder why we have small Christians, it is because we have a small Jesus. If Jesus is not magnified something else will be magnified. If our cross isn’t being enlarged then we aren’t growing and we are raising something up as a false priority/gospel (in reality we are creating a false god).

Principle of Variability

Evaluate everything you do in light of the gospel?
Are people leaving with a great appreciation of what Jesus has done?
Is Jesus being lifted up in the groups, music, preaching?

Pride robs us of the glory of Christ because it exalts us over Christ.
Pride robs us of fellowship because it put us before others.
