Just as in one man, Adam, sin entered world, so in one man, Jesus, freedom amd hope was won through the Cross

the Kingdom of heaven is so unlike anything we find naturally on earth

The Kingdom that Jesus inaugurated and invites us into is so different from what we are used to in the natural world...... It takes His Spirit to give us eyes to see in the supernatural

God used Philip to accomplish amazing things..... because he was humble and filled with the Spirit.... in relationship with others..... teachable

Philip was a man humble to serve, powerful and effective in ministry..... because he was accountable and engaged in a process of growth and release.

The early church grew because it was empowered and emboldened by men and women filled with God's Spirit..... passionate, urgent, and brace

Joshua's words to the people of Israel before he dies are worth listening to... How to keep the Promised Land and continue to take ground.... or lose it

Jesus comes to set free....

Jesus sends disciples/us out with authority rooted in identity. Power of the Kingdom to overcome darkness.... visible evidence of the Kingdom of God on earth - as in heaven

Jesus us always has taken the initiative to love first.... and continue to offer his love, even during our worst days
