Jesus said he was the true door to the sheep gate. What does it mean to be sheep who are protected by Jesus? What does it mean to trust Him?

When you have a worldview of scarcity, you tend to feel shame for not measuring up, or pride for being better than another. Jesus does not play the comparison game. Jesus offers mercy rather than shame, mercy rather than a title. Jesus offers abundant mercy for all.

For the last few weeks and continuing throughout the year we have been defining and discussing the reality of Jesus’ message. Jesus’ words have been both sharp and comforting. This weekend we continue that, but focus on what it means for us, not just as individuals but Missio Dei corporately. What do these realities of the Gospel mean for us as a church? How do they inform our vision and values and what does our future look like? If you call Missio Dei home this message is essential to understanding who we are and what we do and just how the

Gospel informs all that.
