Why study temperament, personality, gifts, and abilities, and love languages, and the sort in church? It might appear like psychology rather than theology. However, understanding our unique wiring is at the heart of our relationship with God and others. God desires us to love Him holistically and love others with a Christ kind of love (Matt 22:37-39). Therefore, discovering our temperament, personality, gifts, and abilities is not only a wise idea but is a necessary part of loving God and doing life well with others. In our series Connected, we explore our unique wiring and how God can and will redemptively use it to allow us to flourish in our relationship with Him and others.

Jesus Christ came purposed to die for our sins and be resurrected for our salvation (Rom 4:25). It's not overly simplistic to say that the fundamental mission of Christ's time on earth was the salvation of all who will receive Him as Savior and Lord (Luke 19:10, John 1:12). His coming and offering of salvation has not only changed people's lives for eternity but ushered in a movement that has literally changed the world. Since the time of Christ, His church has been a significant source of social services like schooling and medical care and inspiration for art, culture and philosophy, politics, and world affairs. Jesus taught His followers to pray, "God's kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt 6:10). This prayer is not merely an expectant yearning for the coming of Christ in the future but also a desire to see God's kingdom broaden and become increasingly established throughout the world in the here and now. Christ's coming ignited a movement that transforms His followers, unleashing them as change agents in our culture. In our series Ignite, we look at the finished work of Christ on the cross that changes the believer and sets them ablaze as world changers.
