Pastor Anthony Cox
Relationships
John 3:16 say that God so loved the world that he gave his only son.. God not only gave, but gave his very best to bring mankind back to himself. He reached out first; He loved first, so why shouldn’t I? Relationships is an vital part of our culture at RLC.
Leadership
We are all leaders in some fashion because someone is following us. Therefore, we must understand leadership from Gods perspective. A great leader is a great servant and when this is modelled and acted out we can impact our children, household, and workplace.
Family
The family that is founded on influences based on God's Word is the bedrock that holds this sacred unit together. We must make time to cultivate those relationships and show acts of kindness that is not self seeking. Imagine a family where their DNA was how can I serve others. This would virtually remove over 90% of the situations that can cause division.
