When Christ is everything to us, the goal of our living and dying becomes the joy of others glorying in Christ

Suffering for the gospel is not losing; rather God is at work through our proclamation of Jesus in all circumstances to make much of Christ in us and through us

The gospel is our central navigation point for all of life, relationships, and ministry

The church is one family, united by the gospel and for the gospel’s advance

Jesus accomplishes his victory as king not by coming down from the cross or avoiding death, but by enduring death and rising victoriously over it

Though all humanity bears the guilt of Jesus’ death, he gave his life in willing obedience to his Father to bring us back to God

Live expectantly in light of the return of Jesus Christ

Jesus exposes hypocritical spirituality but exalts the humble

True greatness in Jesus’ kingdom is not being exalted or exalting oneself, but trusting him and following the pattern of his cross

Listen to Jesus!
