Theology (the study of God) that does not lead to doxology (the worship of God) is bad theology. Peter shares about the mysterious blessing of being small and centering on a big God.

No one is more powerful than the person who has a deepening revelation of Christ's love for them and has him dwelling in their hearts. That person will be increasingly fearless.

Almost everything about Christianity is unlikely. From an unlikely God (He is better than you think), to an unlikely message (He loves you and died for you), to the unlikely messengers (the church) - God's story is full of surprises.

God's thoughts and ways are so much higher than ours. Not only did Jesus take on human flesh, he also paved the way for God to dwell in us by the Holy Spirit. If you love Jesus and belong to Him then the presence of God dwells in you in the Holy Spirit - you take Him wherever you go. That changes everything.

The church is not primarily an institution, a club, an entertainment portal ... it is ultimately God's family; His household. The early church often met in houses because that reflected who they were. Do we automatically think family when we think church?
