God's grace is sufficient for every facet of the Christian life.

The gospel of our salvation is from God, by God, and for God.

The gospel is the good news of what God has done to establish his kingdom and deal with our sin through the life, death, and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Nothing we do in God's name or service will amount to anything if we are not first and faithfully devoted to prayer.

Jesus is the "Word" who gives meaning, purpose amd hope to a world in desperate need of these.

The joy of Christmas is that God did not leave us in the darkness of sin, but entered into that darkness through his Son to bring light and life to all people.

Jesus wants us to experience the joy that the angels proclaimed when they said,

Our crucified and risen King excercises his universal authority by sending his church into the world to make disciples of all nations.

Jesus Christ rose from the dead, and this changes everything.
