Thank you for joining us for Cowboy Church here at the Chip. It is our

honor to serve you this morning. You are among friends: relax and enjoy

our beautiful western setting. We trust that the music, the message, and

old-fashioned cowboy hospitality will encourage you today.

We are called to faith, gathered in love

Sent with hope to change the world

We are called to faith, gathered in love

ecclesia, ecclesia, Church at the Chip!

   Called to Faith, Gathered in Love

   Sent with Hope – ecclesia!

  Psalm 53

     1    The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
        They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
        there is none who does good.

     2    God looks down from heaven
        on the children of man
            to see if there are any who understand,[b]
        who seek after God.

     3    They have all fallen away;
        together they have become corrupt;
            there is none who does good,
        not even one.

    4    Have those who work evil no knowledge,
        who eat up my people as they eat bread,
        and do not call upon God?

    5    There they are, in great terror,
        where there is no terror!
          For God scatters the bones of him who encamps against you;
        you put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

    6    Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
        When God restores the fortunes of his people,
        let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

Unity, Liberty, Charity

A Community of Faith, Love and Hope (#4)

Ephesians 4:1-6; Romans 15:5-7

As we close out our biennial look at the vision and values of our church family, we consider one more foundational statement: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things charity.” Why is the statement important for us, and what is the biblical basis for it? We’ll talk about that this morning.
