Love for enemies is a response to God’s love for us, but in cases of huge hurt it is a community issue.
God’s blessing is upon those who fully enter the pain of life and who hope beyond it.
God’s church is to be a place of cleansing and healing and preparation for mission.

God calls and equips us to carry on the mission of Jesus regardless of the response.
God affirms fullness of life over religion.
In baptism, the Holy Spirit is ordaining us for mission.
God will entrust us with more when we have proved trustworthy with what we have been given.
A healthy devotional relationship with God is required if we are to sustain our discipleship in the world.
