Because we have been saved by grace, we are called to live a life of loving others even when it’s hard.

(Luke 10:25-37)

God calls us not only to meaningful connection with Him, but also to each other.

(Gen 1-2, I Cor 12:12-20, Col 3:12-13, John 17:11, Eph 3:6, Ecc 4:9-12, Acts 2:42-47, John 13:35, Heb 10:24-25, Ps 133:1)

Our life in Christ takes us into spaces of deep intimacy.  It is far more than knowing about Him.  It is knowing Him.

(Is 41:10, Joshua 1:9, Psalm 23:4, Matt 28:20, Gen 28:15, Jn 10:14, Matt 7:22-23, Ps 139:1-2, Ex 33:17, Gen 4:1, Is 40:26, Prov 4:20-21, Ps 141:1, I Jn 1:1, Prov 34:8, Jn 15:5)

While there are many false motives that may lead us to faith, there is only one that sustains our faith.

(2 Cor 5:14-15, I Cor 2:2, I Jn 4:10, Matt 18:21-33, Ps 136, Jer 31:3, I Jn 3:1, Rom 5:8, Eph 3:17-19)

1 Peter 2:9 reminds us that followers of Jesus are God’s chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and His treasured possession. This sermon explores what it means to live out that identity, moving from passive consumers to active representatives of Christ in the world.

(1 Peter 2:9)
