In the Kingdom of God, holiness is not about acting holy before others, but about receiving a new heart and identity through the grace of Jesus!

In Philippians 1:19–26, Paul shows us that unshakable joy is possible—even in suffering—because Christ is our life and our treasure. Whether by life or by death, Paul magnifies Christ, teaching us that true joy comes when we live for Jesus, serve others, and trust God with every outcome.

As elect exiles and living stones, our placement in this world is purposeful: to resist the way of death, to embody the life of Christ, and to be scattered and sent so that the gospel advances through us.

A disciple of Jesus loves to be with Him, becomes like Him, and does what He does — while going where He goes.

God is building us into His dwelling place where His love and glory are made visible; but apart from Christ the Cornerstone, the church cannot stand.

Because of Jesus, our identity has been radically rewritten—and that’s good new, because who we are always comes before what we do.

Jesus is Lord over the chaos—He renews us before it, walks with us through it, meets us in our doubts, and calls us to bring others into His saving presence.

Not every feast leads to life—some lead only to emptiness and death—but the feast of Jesus satisfies now and forever, even if the road to it passes through the valley of death.

The Kingdom of God demands a response—and the way we receive or reject Jesus determines whether we share in His treasure or miss His transforming power.

The Kingdom of God may begin in hidden and humble ways, but it carries unstoppable power and unmatched worth—calling us to joyfully give our lives to what is truly gain.
