How do we, those whose lives are founded in our experience of God’s mercy, whose minds are being renewed, how do we think? 

In view of God's mercy, with the grace He has given us, we steward the gifts God has given you. 

Why? To build a community unified by Jesus & His gospel. Thats the ‘win’!

Our experience of God’s mercy is the foundation of our expression!

Paul knows the secret to joyfully living sacrificially is tied to being transformed in the mind. Our thoughts can be our greatest enemies or our greatest allies when it comes to walking in the way of Jesus.

The Gospel calls people to God, and unifies all of humanity—every Jew & Gentile, past & present, in Rome & California. 
The Gospel informs, directs, and defines our lives.
The Gospel sends us to our towns, to point people to the power of God to save! 
The Gospel is the completed work of God’s Plan!
