We are called to live the lifestyle of the era that has not quite dawned – values found in Jesus Christ that will bring life to the world.

Christian discipleship is an ongoing journey, so any attempt to preserve what is right today can mean we are in the wrong place tomorrow because Jesus has moved on.
When we encounter the reality of God we are overcome with our own unworthiness, and we are confronted with a choice – to push God away and hide from our self-realization, or to accept God’s gracious invitation to mercy, transformation and mission.
With the coming of the Christ, our deepest longings and yearnings will be fulfilled.
God does not wish our suffering and struggle to continue, but is ready to gather us in his arms, and calls us to prepare for his arrival.
If we live as though Christ was reigning now, we will always be ready for what he is about to do.
God’s church is to be a place of cleansing and healing and preparation for mission.
Jesus helps us to identify the oppressed and brokenhearted and to see how we can become agents of renewal and restoration.
