The crucifixion is part of my story and the story of God's love for me.

The challenge is to not only proclaim Jesus as king, but to allow him to be our king.

God finds pleasure in those who love extravagantly.

God invites us to leave the old and discover the new.

We are called to live as an attractive outpost of the kingdom.

Temptation is real and powerful, but it can be overcome by the power of God's Word and the strength of God's Spirit.

God's call in God's place at God's time yields God's catch.

Whatever God calls people to is the thing he intends to empower them to accomplish.

God has given his Word as a source of joy and strength.

The Holy Spirit empowers his people to build up his people as fit servants of the kingdom.
