Our God and Father is absolutely bent on our redemption. And to show it, Jesus shows us the depths of sin.

Renewal includes repentance and generosity.
God renews, equips, and protects his people.
The Lord rebuilds His people through the work of His chosen servant, Jesus.
Renewal begins when we have deep sorrow for those without the hope of Christ and respond to God's call to move toward them.

Moments of desperate pain can lead to the fullest experience of joy.
The majesty of God is that He delights to be glorified by turning the tables of human expectations, using the lowly to display His power and care.
We can cry out to God knowing He gives righteous justice in Christ.
We will praise God forever from the depths of our souls, because God is the eternal creator and redeemer.
While we are aware of the present reality of a sinful, fallen world, we have the prophetic promise that God will turn our labor in tears into shouts of joys.
God deserves constant praise because of His character, not our circumstances.
