When we look at the gospel that Jesus presented, we may be surprised to find that is different than the gospel many of us were presented with.

We look at the impact of the firm foundation of a God-given identity.

If we are going to read the scriptures well, we must understand some background to the books. Who wrote it? Who were they writing to? What was going on at the time?

Many churches in America have lost their drive for mission. We have become too inward focused. We believe God is calling us to lift our gaze and see the harvest all around us.

We are often told that our lives should look like Jesus', but what does that mean? How do we know if we are making progress?

In the Great Commission Jesus gave the command and ministry of disciple making to every believer. It is not the job of the "church" or of programs. We are called to walk in intentional relationships with people toward transformation.

When the Lord makes His presence known to us, we must engage with Him. He is calling us into partnership and transformation.

The presence of God is the only thing that separates us from the world around us. We must learn to practice living with expectation of the divine in our every day.
