God calls each of us from different circumstances, but what matters is not where we begin, but that we finish the race to attain Jesus.

As we await the coming of Jesus we stand fast in faithfulness to him, trusting in his Word and promise to sustain and save us.

The call of the Church is to be people who go out into the world to love our neighbor not so that they can see us, but so that they can see and meet Jesus in us.

First of all, before anything else, we are called to pray, not seeking the Lord in vain or without hope, but trusting in his goodness and mercy towards us, knowing that he loves us and hears our prayers.

Without God’s mercy and grace we would be lost, and yet he showers it upon us abundantly in his Son Jesus.

God’s judgement and wrath are coming for those who do not repent and trust in Jesus, but those who repent and trust in the Son of God will be purified in his cleansing fire, having been set free from their sin that they might live forever.

Jesus came not only to establish the Kingdom of God, but to destroy the works of the Devil. He invites us to join in this work of ushering in the kingdom and spiritual warfare against the wiles and deceptions of the evil one.

In the face of dangers, doubts, and distractions, by faith we cling to the promises of God that find their yes and amen in Jesus.

God the Father has made us his sons and daughters through baptism so that we can share in the life of God found in his Son, be indwelt by his Holy Spirit, and do the work of the kingdom together with him.

God longs for us to be close to him, to have an intimate relationship with him, so much so that he calls us friends.
