Pastor Todd Johnson preaches on two additional core values of Brandywine Valley Baptist Church. First, BVBC values families. We see in Genesis 1:27-28 that God created the first family. Society needs churches with healthy, thriving marriages that in turn produce healthy families. Second, BVBC values authenticity and restoration. We believe the church should be a hospital for sinners. When people feel safe enough to remove the masks hiding their brokenness, this authenticity leads to opportunities for restoration through the power of the gospel.
Core Values are the underlying convictions of BVBC that create an unwavering guide for decisions, direction and the fulfillment of our mission. Our mission-To introduce people to Jesus Christ and help them follow him. In the Sure Foundations series we will discuss our core values.
All humans share the need to belong. Sociologists define healthy belonging as the convergence of four basic elements: security, authenticity, maturity and mission. The Church ought to be a place where people can find all these elements because Jesus Christ designed His church with healthy belonging at its heart. That’s why “Meaningful Membership and Community” is a core value at Brandywine Valley Baptist Church. This sermon explains why belonging can be such a struggle and how Jesus restores our belonging through a personal, relational God. Listeners are exhorted to invest in biblical community at BVBC.
