When the courageous life of Jesus collides with our lives—we become contagious. Mark 2 speaks about the story of 4 guys who brought their friends to Jesus. God calls us to share God’s story of redemption with others.

The mission of the church is to help others know the love of God through the life of Jesus. Dangerous churches are made up of dangerous people, willing to take dangerous risks, to save people from a dangerous destiny—Gene Apple.

Jesus prayer for His church is that we’d be one. When we’re one—the world will know that we’re His disciples. “In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, and in all things love.”—Barton W. Stone & Thomas Campbell. We have to fight for our oneness and love each other well.

Jesus went all in so that we could know the love of the Father and be adopted into His family. The Bible describes the church as a bride, a flock, and a family. God calls us to be committed to His Body, to serve whole heartedly, give sacrificially, belong in a Life Group, and invest in the mission.

The church was God’s idea. God’s vision for the church is that we would partner with God to rescue and redeem those that God’s loves. The church is all about Jesus.

2 Chronicles 16:9

Our lives should reflect the community of God in which we live. Others should be able to see what team we are playing for. And we should live like we will win.

An exegesis of this passage, with an emphasis on the Olympic metaphors and words Paul uses.

A secret worth looking into....how do we learn to be content whatever the circumstances.

God is calling us to a life of Joy in Him. Void of worry, but full of his Peace. He is also calling us to know him, so we can withstand difficulties.
