The work of the Lord is not something we do “for the Lord.” It is something the Lord does through us for others and he does it as we give ourselves to him.
Because Christ is raised from the dead, all those who are in Christ will also be raised from the dead. There is no such thing as one without the other.
The gospel begins with perfect love in the perfect union of a God who is three in one.
The purpose of the church is to manifest the palpable reality of the embodied presence of God on Earth and this for the sake of blessing all of creation.
Worship is for the sake of the re-creative work of God in our midst so we might be the re-creative “works” of God in the midst of the broken world.
Especially desire the Holy Spirit to work through you in ways that supernaturally strengthen, encourage, and comfort other people.
The Holy Spirit works in power through all manner of gifts and manifestations where people are moving toward one another in love.
The human body, as the ultimate creation of the Creator God, holds the capacity to reveal more about the nature and character of God than all the stars in the universe combined.
Jesus is Lord! It’s a comprehensive, all-encompassing claim, not only on our lives, but on all of creation.
Is your life leading others to discover the goodness of God our Father, the grace of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, the joy of the Kingdom of God in the midst of the most difficult trial?
Without remembering our bigger story and those who have preceded us, we are destined to make the same predictable mistakes and repeat a past from which we have been gloriously delivered.
Stop wasting your life on all of these things that promise life but only deliver death. Run in the new way of the Spirit.
