We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and our only rule of faith and practice. As Scripture teaches, we believe God became man in the person of Jesus Christ, saving us from sin by grace through faith. We believe the seventh-day Sabbath was established by God at Creation and honored by Jesus in His earthly ministry as a gift of rest and rejuvenation for all. We celebrate the church as the diverse “new community” forged through the death and resurrection of Jesus, in which all are called, all are gifted, and all are valued. We anticipate Jesus’ personal and visible return to earth to raise the righteous dead, make the earth new, and dwell with His faithful children throughout eternity. We live out our love for Jesus by growing in His likeness and by serving our fellowmen.

Welcome to Sligo today. When I was a child, there was a comedian who did an entire routing about “stuff.” Now when I say stuff, I’m referring to all the things that we accumulate but never are able to get rid of. And according to this comedian, the only reason we have a home is so that we can have a place to store our stuff. That is until we accumulate too much stuff and then have to rent a storage unit so that we can house our new stuff, as there’s no room in our home because our old stuff is taking up entirely too much space. I think you get the picture. For some reason, there is this belief in our culture that material possessions improve our personal and social well-being. But the idea that the more stuff we have the happier we will be is nothing more than a myth. But if this is true, then why are so many of us so easily seduced when it comes to stuff. Today as we conclude our series, God vs. Money: A Battle for the Heart, we look to find answers that will help rid us of this obsession in our message, titled, “The Seduction of Stuff.”
