We were created to reflect God's Image, but sin distorted it; Christ, the True Image of God, restores us so we may live as His representatives.

True victory and lasting rest come not form our efforts, but from trusting Christ to guard and grow what matters most.

Though there are many things that are important, especially loving and serving others, the one thing that is most important is abiding in Jesus by being with him.

Jesus Christ, the true Good Samaritan, rescues us and empowers us to love as we have been loved.

God's people joyfully proclaim the kingdom of God, not because we must perform for God, but because we are sons and daughters of God in Christ

Jesus, the First, calls His disciples to put Him above all things-their own control, societal and religious obligations, and relationships-showing that true fitness for the kingdom is found not in our own strength, but in His grace, as He became last to make the unfit it for His kingdom.

Jesus became an object of the consuming fire of God's judgment so that we might be objects of mercy that give mercy to others.

Jesus, the greatest of all, revealed His true greatness by humbling Himself to the cross, serving the least, and calling us to follow His example of selfless love and servanthood.

The majesty of Jesus calls us to trust him beyond what we see.

Jesus is most clearly glorified in his Exodus in Jerusalem where he will save his people from their sins.
