The intensity of God's desire for you is perhaps the greatest manifestation of His beauty. Jesus' death on the cross is the greatest display of God's desire for you ever given! The Cross actually abolishes all sense of personal shame and unworthiness, because if God desired you this much to have already died for you, holding on to shame and unworthiness is totally absurd.

You don't need to fight for your freedom if you know Christ is holding everything together. In fact, since you know Christ is holding everything together, you can focus on contending for righteousness. America is unique, there is a record of evangelical shaping. The more Christian we are as a nation the more we should want people of other faiths to come so we can demonstrate just how amazing Christ and His gospel is!

Dependence on God is not a feeling of trust.. it is an act of abandonment to God. His beauty is found at the edge of our complete dependence. That is where we find our purpose and our calling- to behold God's beauty and to reflect God's beauty.

When Jesus died on the cross, God made a way for us to be restored to relationship with Him. We don't have to rely on ourselves, we can rely on Him, we can trust in Him! By trusting in what Jesus did and surrendering our life to Him, the power of self is broken and we can discover our identity in Christ! A sermon by Steve Fry.

We will only know joy in prayer when we really believe that God is sovereign. If we are in Christ, then our prayer does not come from our attempts to persevere, but our enjoyment of his presence.

When we see our purpose as joining The Father in bringing everything under The Headship of Christ, we enter into the current of God's love and discover the most fulfilling life possible. We bring things under the headship of Christ by making everything an expression of intimacy to Jesus. If God's purpose and mission becomes our purpose and mission we will have strong, sustainable joy.
