One of the most difficult things within Christianity is trusting Jesus when we're so used to living according to the "rules" of our world. When Jesus says "follow me" we know that obedience could lead directly to persecution and rejection.

The source of our service for our communities must be Jesus.  Because God has modeled for us what it looks like to serve the "least of these" - we must learn to follow in His steps.

It's sometimes too easy for us to compartmentalize our faith according to certain societal norms and standards - Jesus always challenges those!  Even though the widow or orphan may go unseen by our would - our Heavenly Father sees them and encourages us to see like He does!

God has commissioned Christians as His hands and feet to serve as His ambassadors-of-reconciliation to the world.  While it's often easier to simply "mind our own business" in this world - Jesus is mobilizing His people to love our neighbors in accordance with our love for God.

Grace is unique to Christianity, and grace is dependent upon the resurrection of Jesus. God has validated our Savior's life and death as sufficient in the complete victory over sin and death, and He now invites us to live under that fulfillment - to live under grace.

Sin is devious & infectious and will ultimately lead us to death.  Yet, we are called and equipped by God, through Jesus Christ, to put a stop to the rule of sin in our lives.  Although sin will continue to show up, it ought no longer control us as a master.

The Spirit of God provides the Christian with both the accountability and power to fight against sin.  Because the death of Christ has freed all those who identify in Him from a slavery to sin, there becomes therefore not only an expectation to battle the enemy of sin but additionally the scriptures also give us God's strategy.

The heart behind stewardship must be defined by our understanding of who we are serving.  God's ultimate goal in our practice of becoming good stewards is not merely bound up in the benefits that it will bring to us; biblical stewardship is actually fostering a new kind of humanity.  When we manage what God has given us according to the scriptures, we will end up modeling our lives after the character of God Himself.

How should a Christian practice generosity? Does the Bible require us to pay God 10 percent?  It is only to the church that God expects us to give?  These questions, and more are addressed in God's Word to help the Christian excel in generosity.

God has designed his followers to serve as agents of change for His Kingdom.  This is most often challenged at our workplaces. It is the Christian's duty to exchange their employer, such that we begin working for God, even while working at work.
