Unmasked

Wrapped up our Unmasked series.  Messages were on wearing masks, our focus (on God or us), and the 3 gifts of Grace - Love, Repentance and Forgiveness.  It is Grace that allows us to remove our masks trusting in what God says about us and receiving and giving Love, Repentance and Forgiveness!    We so often want to wear masks because we know all of our deepest and darkest secrets and with that we find it hard to believe that anyone, especially God, could be ok with us.  When we start to trust what God says about us and that He accepts us we can begin to remove our masks and develop a community of grace.  Knowing our own sins and God's Grace and Mercy we can accept others just as they are so that they can remove their masks and for the first time stand naked and unashamed before God and others.  I hope this series is taken to heart by many and influences many masks being removed.  We desire to be a community of authentic people following Christ.
