Just as Jesus came to serve, by offering up his life, kingdom people experience and express the kingdom through service.

How the Kingdom of God prevails

Jesus is better and worth far more than anything this world has to offer. For us to experience the riches of treasure in Christ, we must trade any temporary idol we are holding onto, in order to receive the greatness of life He offers us.

Jesus is better and worth it far more than anything this world has to offer. For us to experience the riches of treasure in Christ, we must trade any temporary idol we are holding onto, in order to receive the greatness of life He offers us.

Jesus calls us beyond the values of our day to God’s original design intended for His glory and our joy, while also making clear, His grace is available to all of us who live in this broken world.

The mercy we remember shapes the mercy we give. The grace we have been given should reflect the grace we give. The forgiveness we have received should shape the forgiveness we offer.

Because of everything God has done to make us right with Him, we fight to maintain the unity He created.

God gave us a gospel-informed way to deal with conflict in the kingdom. Following it mirrors God's heart and produces healthy relationships in the church.

Jesus reveals the magnitude of God's heart to us as a good Shepherd who relentlessly pursues His children, because EVERY person deeply matters to Him and NO ONE is beyond His reach. He then calls His disciples (us!) to relentlessly pursue others with the same passion and same love that He pursued us.

Temptation promises life but delivers death. So, we pray, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.”
