God's transformative mercy calls us to treat others with the same extravagant mercy, which can transform their lives as well!

The radical, God-dependent, counter-cultural nature of the Kingdom of God is clearly seen in Jesus' command to love our enemies.

The values of the Kingdom of God are radically different from those of the world. As citizens of the Kingdom of God, we must adopt a posture of dependence on Jesus and find true satisfaction and joy in him alone.

Jesus chooses leaders on the mountaintop and then takes them to the valley to participate in his compassionate work.

The commands of the Old Covenant find their fulfillment in Jesus. If we're not careful, we'll do our best to obey the rules while missing the one to whom the rules are meant to lead us.

Jesus has the power to heal and the authority to forgive. All of this points to the greatest thing he can do, cleanse us from our sins and restore our relationship with God.

The true cost of discipleship is leaving everything and following Jesus. In dying to yourself, you find true life in Christ, a treasure that surpasses all else.

Jesus' miracles prove his authority, demonstrate his compassion, and explain his purpose. Ultimately, they are a sign calling us to faith and discipleship.

After the resurrection, Jesus walks, talks, and eats with his disciples, transforming their confusion and doubt into joyful purpose. His resurrection challenges our expectations and redefines our understanding of Scripture, ultimately proving that true life is found only in Christ.

We must believe in Jesus as Savior and receive him as King, which requires both acceptance of his identity and submission to his authority.
