God has promised that if we stay connected to him, then he will give us the energy and the love to go out from our comfort-zones into the alien territory of those who need God’s love most of all.
The message that salvation is exclusively in the hands of the risen Christ may be unfashionable, but it is the only message of salvation we have to offer.
The wound of abandonment which haunts every human being will find its healing in Christ who is everywhere present as the authority and power of God.

The Holy Spirit, poured out on the church, opens pathways of communication, enabling the Gospel to break through the multiple barriers to our hearing. Barriers are also broken down to enable us to to communicate with one another and with God.
God breaks down all social barriers and differentiates between us on love alone.
Resurrection keeps happening despite our inability to believe.
An encounter with the risen Christ can totally reorient our lives and our perceptions of the world.
