The flow of God’s Story is moving toward to the ultimate renewal and restoration of all creation in the New Heaven & New Earth.

God gifts us, equips us and enables us all to serve and contribute to the lives of others in some unique way. Our gifts and abilities are not the same; they are complimentary. This is how he strengthens us as his family, the Church, to care for each other and represent him in and to our world. (more…)

Too often we live and function under stereotypes of who is acceptable to God and suitable for his service, thinking we must become someone we are not in order to make the cut. But we are all uniquely created for unique purposes. We do not serve a cookie cutter God. The only criteria important to him, is the condition and willingness of our hearts.
David understood this and he saw it play out in his own life at a very early age…

Throughout God’s Story, judgment and punishment were never an end in themselves and never the end of the story.

God is at work in every single one of our lives to bring about repentance so that he can restore us to each other and to himself. (more…)

I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
(Matthew 25:35-36)

If the faith that saved us is genuine, it will move us to care for the poor. (more…)

When a foreigner resides among you in your land,
do not mistreat them.
The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born.
Love them as yourself,
for your were foreigners in Egypt.
I am the LORD your God.
(Leviticus 19:33-34)
As Followers of Jesus we are called to love those who are unlike us. This means putting ourselves in the place of those who are experiencing difficulty even when we do not relate to their situation, as God expected his people Israel to do, because of their personal heritage of having been foreigners themselves in Egypt.
