BIG IDEA: Jesus calls us to live from the inside out, not the outside in

- It's easy for appearances to drift from authenticity
- The outside is worthless when the inside is fictitious
- The outside always follows the inside

BIG IDEA: Jesus invites us into upside down generosity

- Generosity is always a matter of the heart
- We have capacity to build treasures
- Treasures of the earth have a short expiry date
- Treasures of Heaven are built to last

BIG IDEA: We can conquer an enemy with violence or we can conquer them with love

- The activity of loving changes indentity in living
- Broadcast your love beyond the basic level
- Perfection is possible... push for it!

BIG IDEA: Our posture is shaped by our perspective

- Look for the reversal
- Look for your deliverance
- Look for your confidence
- Look for your determination
