Becoming a follower of Jesus means living obediently under his Kingdom authority.

Every disciple of Jesus lives as one sent into the world with the good news of God’s Kingdom.

Being a disciple (literally, a student) is about getting closer to Jesus and becoming more like him. And Jesus is always inviting you one step further into fellowship with himself.

Jesus’ baptism was a public announcement of his ministry as God’s Messiah. When we follow Jesus-which we publicly announce with our baptism, we are entering into a whole new life!

God’s favor is when he shows you his good character and keeps his good promises to you. And when God wants to show you favor, you have to decide in advance to be ready with your YES.

The good King Jesus’ agenda for his people is good, and when you receive his agenda, you will rejoice for eternity.

History and its prophets paved the way for Jesus' first coming. We get to prepare the way for his second coming, and we also get to prepare the way for him to take full possession and ownership of our lives as Lord and Redeemer.

In the midst of the darkness of our circumstances, it’s easy to lose hope. But the message of Advent tells us that there is something greater coming to make all things right. The King is coming.

Sometimes we express our values in the form of good intentions.

Sometimes we express our values in the form of real action.

Do we live out the values we say we believe in?

We think and give big. We plant churches, partner with our community, and go to the ends of the earth with the gospel.
