God was made manifest in the Creation He made in order to redeem it from the sin that man had wrought.

Being forgiven so great a debt as our sin, it is unthinkable that a Christian would be unwilling to forgive wrongs done to them.

Confrontation about sin is necessary in Christian community, and the hope is always for repentance and restoration.

When a Christian stumbles and wanders, other Christians are not called to despise that person, but seek to restore them.

To be truly great in God’s kingdom means being dependent and trusting of God in every circumstance.

Jesus did not want to be an offense to others and was willing to set aside His rights as Son of God.

Disciples of Jesus overcome insurmountable obstacles to advance the Kingdom by faith.

Following Jesus means denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and losing our lives so we might save our lives.

Christians are to be humbly submitting to God's plans, not trying to counsel Him.

Christians need to confess that Jesus is the promised Savior and the Son of God, and on that rock of confession does Jesus build His church.
