In the eyes of the world, the end to our story - the greatest story ever told - just might seem too good to be true.

"Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea The Great High Priest whose name is Love Who ever lives and pleads for me." Soak that in. Jesus is always interceding on our behalf.

It isn't a myth or cleverly told story. It is a first-hand, personal and life-changing encounter that ignited the hearts of people to follow Jesus.

Are you an evangelist in your own church? Are you sold out for God's Word or do you just tip-toe through its pages? Do you dive in for the feast of a lifetime or do you just nibble around the edges and leave hungry?

He redeems. He provides and He protects so that we can live in community with one another practicing love, faithfulness, generosity, justice and mercy.
