Seventh Core Belief: The Church is God's AGENT OF CHANGE in our world.

Jesus asks the group the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Peter offers the MOST IMPORTANT ANSWER.

Peter is praised for RECEIVING the revelation.

Jesus will build His Church on every person who shares Peter’s CONFESSION.

When INFORMATION is king, ISOLATION is not far behind.

Sin SEPARATES. The Gospel RECONCILES.

The Church saves SOULS and it saves LIVES. The Church meets FELT needs. The Church meets ETERNAL needs.

The Church is how we EXPERIENCE JESUS. The Church is how we EXPERIENCE TRANSFORMATION.

LOVE and GOOD WORKS always go together.
