The attributes of God that we can have a share in are brought to full expression in God's Son, Jesus.  Not only does Jesus contain all the fullness of deity, but through Jesus we are invited into the divine nature - that we too would express the characteristics of our God.

Repeatedly through the scriptures, God is defined as the One who made the heavens and the earth.  He is unconfined by His creation; our ability to relate to Him must begin with an acknowledgment of the distinction between the Creator and His creatures.

One of the enduring mysteries that the scriptures report concerns the return of Jesus. By God’s design we are only revealed enough to develop a trust in the God who fulfills His promises.

God's plan, sometimes referred to as a mystery, is the revelation of His glory as executed through the church. This means that we must take seriously our participation in His purposes, and shape our worship around those characteristics that lead to the unfolding of His glory.

Our response to the gospel is one of surrendering our entire life over to God's design, authority, and glory.  The wonder of God’s love is that He is the one who enables us to do this!

The mystery of Jesus' advent goes far beyond just His birth. We are offered immeasurable blessings in God's provision for our reconciliation by the giving of His Son Jesus.

God's plan for saving the world would flow through a submissive young woman: Mary.  Her response to God's call provides us with an example of a humble, trusting, and yielded spirit - willing to follow where God' leads.

The kingdom of our Lord is breaking into this world through the person, message, and people of Jesus Christ.  We, as Christians, are tasked with engaging our world/culture with the distinctiveness of Jesus; confident of God's ultimate triumph in recreation to establish a new heaven and new earth!

The church today has been given her marching orders for organization and character.  She must the Lord’s design, which, unfortunately, is often easier to say than to do.  Observations: The kingdom of man’s priority isn’t belief in God The kingdom of man’s priority isn’t knowing God The kingdom of man’s priority isn’t knowing the love of God The kingdom of man’s priority isn’t the community of God Grace Sagola is your practice field for the worship and priority of God’s […]
