As stewards, we celebrate the Gospel here; we celebrate redemption, restoration, healing, and the things of God. Even in the middle of difficult times, we choose to celebrate the mercies of God. "Celebration is godly defiance in the culture of doubt" - Jon Tyson.

Not only do we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus at Easter, the central point of our faith, but because of what He's done, we celebrate our own resurrection. He rose from the grave to life, and raises us to new life with Him. Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life!

Christ’s own joy, comfort, happiness and glory are enlarged as he shows grace and mercy; as he pardons and relieves; as he brings comfort to his own. - Gentle and Lowly

We are a people who are coming to know Jesus; becoming like Jesus; and living as Jesus lived as we make our way on this journey. 

According to scripture, we should be explorers and stewards of the mysteries of God. When we lose sight of the Gospel of Christ, we are truly missing the central aspect of the church He began. We should constantly be preaching and responding to the mystery of God, which is the Gospel, in our lives. We should then steward it well and make it our focus.
