In a world that attempts to avoid discomfort at all costs, we are called to participate in Christ’s death, by joyfully enduring struggles for the sake of others. We are able to do this because Christ is in us, and transforms the way we see suffering. He turns our labor into love.

Jesus makes a way to God by dying on our behalf.

Jesus is preeminent over all.

We have everything we need to live lives worthy of our calling in God.

The Gospel is the good news that the kingdom of heaven (faith, hope, and love) has broken into the lives of all who understand it and respond.

We are called to loosen our grip on earthly riches and take hold of God and His promises. This allows His transforming power in our lives overflow in generosity to others.

God calls us into the silence of the wilderness to clear our hearts from our own noise.

The wilderness, is often the best place to make room in our hearts for God, by fasting and turning to him. We can trust that he will show up, even when we encounter resistance, because he is faithful.
