It’s easy to make a point. All we need to do is shout loudly, hold signs, and launch campaigns...but the responsibility of the church isn’t to make a point.

The church's responsibility is to make a difference– which requires humility, love, patience, sacrifice, and generosity.

The Church Jesus launched was never intended to be a club, motivational seminar, or refuge for religious people. Instead, it was intended to be a place of hope, healing, grace, and community.

Jesus never promised to protect us from a pain-free or problem-free life, but he did promise to be with us in the midst of our pain and problems.

From beginning to end, the Bible is one big epic story about Jesus. In a world marked by endless problems that can’t seem to be fixed, Jesus is the hero.

The message Jesus proclaimed frees us from the endless cycle of feeling like a failure for not doing what we know we’re supposed to be doing. It’s a message that stands in direct opposition to religion!

Why are there so many religions and why does Jesus claim to be the only way to God?

What is God really like? Is God angry, violent, and retributive? If we want to believe that, we can read the Bible in a way that supports this. But what if God is like Jesus? What if God is fully revealed in the life and death of Jesus Christ? Wouldn’t that be good news? Well, that is the good news!
