John 3 declares to us that God’s love is not passively generic – it is aggressively personal!
The church is perfectly designed to achieve its distinctive mission, but to do so requires it follow the Ephesian 4 model.
We have been invited into a relationship with God. Through that relationship, we encounter a living God.
We are called to live out the mission of spreading God's love locally & globally.
We are called to enjoy God to the fullest.
When we follow God, we are invited to rest as he did.
When we follow God, we are invited to slow down & listen for his direction in our lives.
Our words & prayers have incredible power.
When we follow God, we are invited to simplify our lives & live on purpose.
We were created on purpose & for a purpose.
As people of God, we are invited to serve & live generously.
Because of Jesus' sacrifice, we are free.
Our identity is found in who God says we are.
