We all want more power to some extent. We want to be able to make a difference and sometimes it feels like we know all the obvious answers....

Jesus offers us true freedom. Freedom from our past. Freedom from our mistakes. Freedom to live with the presence of God in us. Moses brought freedom to the people of Israel and into a physical land. But Moses 2.0 — Jesus — offers freedom for each and every one of us from sin and death and into everlasting life.

We belong. Our view of ourselves, or even the worlds view, is limited and often wrong. We have SO much value in Jesus who is the author of our story and creation. Our worth is not found in things we do or can't do, it's found in Jesus alone.

If because of my sin I have separated myself from God...He is perfect and holy and I am not. He doesn’t make mistakes and I do — then how can I get back into a right relationship with Him?

God created the earth, mankind, & everything in it and called it good. So what went wrong?

Being in a broken and fallen world, it is easy to question 'who' we truly are and where we can find our worth. But Jesus tells us we are found & defined by who He created us to be.

Within the first week of Core52 we encounter the question, "Why Am I Here?" We have much to discover when it comes to who God has created us to be and how that answers the question of why we are here.

The question is...will you surrender to this season for all its worth? Will you invest in the people you connect with through Neighborhood Groups? Trust that God has given you these specific people for this specific time.

His plans for you cannot be separated from his plans for us. A Creative Minority is never just one person. We work together, worship together, trust together, love our neighbors together.

How can we truly trust the word of God?
