The Bible is one continuous story of the extent to which God will go to make it possible to be close to us.

Jesus followers are part of a legacy of faithful people. When things are crazy in our world, we can confidently rest in the knowledge that many followers of Jesus throughout history have endured difficult times & God has taken care of them.

Unlike any other faith in the world, this movement took off within 50 days of the crucifixion of its founder because the evidence demanded a verdict that he had actually risen from the dead.

We sometimes misunderstand God in the disappointments of life. But we only have part of the story. God will work out the rest of the story as you keep trusting him.

Many people see the cross as tragedy; many others see the message of the cross as foolishness; only a few see the cross as victory.

From Luke 15, it is amazing how clear God's love is for us.  He pursues and pursues but is also willing to patiently wait to pursue.

The door into the Kingdom of God is a very important topic, don’t you think?   You can not only know how to get into the Kingdom of God, you can become certain that you are in.  AND You don’t have to wait till you die first to know for sure.

Jesus knew a clash of kingdoms was taking place and it would be intense, but the battle was NOT going to be waged with weapons of this world. The Kingdom will win the battle JESUS’ style!

We tend to think in terms of “believing” it before “living” it but Jesus advocates if you want to “know it” you have to “live it” first.

"God's forgiveness extends to the worst offenders and to anyone who wishes to receive it -- not because of who we are, but because of who He is."
