Read MoreDiamond shared on the account of Jesus’ crucifixion found in John 19. Jesus was a model of grace and willingly gave His life for all. We can all be imitators of Jesus and give of ourselves graciously, so others can know Him.
Read MoreAs Jesus prepares to leave His disciples He uses the analogy of the vine and the branches to encourage His disciples to remain in Him. As we are also Jesus’ disciples, His prized possession, we can know that these words are also for us. Jesus promises that if we remain in Him whatever we ask for will be done. When this is lived out in our lives we will bear fruit and this will bring glory to the Father.

Read MoreAnd God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church.
Ephesians 1:22
Jesus is the center and focus of our worship and we worship Him simply because of who He is. When we center our lives around Jesus, we receive Heaven’s perspective and can be encouraged, strengthened, and refreshed from being in the presence of God.
God’s grace is absolutely necessary for us to faithfully walk into the calling He has intended for each of us. Jesus dying on the cross is an example of God’s grace in action. Once we have that understanding, “giving” is no longer about us giving what is ours to God, but it becomes our response of gratitude - the same as our response of gratitude in our worship/lifestyle for His grace over our lives.

We are free! But, Paul exhorts us to use our freedom for good - to love and serve one another and those around us. Oh how we need to be with the Father, to be filled by His love, in order to love those around us!
Read MoreThrough God’s grace, and Christ’s redeeming work on the cross for our sins, we no longer have to live under the law. Through faith, we are no longer imprisoned, but our sin is now imprisoned as we get to live free in Christ.
Read MoreThank you Tyrone Daniel for reminding us to find our significance in Christ! “ Our revelation of Jesus determines our mission and our mission determines our local church.” We desire to be people living for the King and His Kingdom!
