Our Need, His Grace, Our Joy - Luke 24:13-53

The Fervency of Hope - I Peter 1:13-21
We are called by Christ to fully embrace the long-game work of redemptive history and place all our value and hope and investment in how he promises to richly bless us when he returns.
Muchness - Matt 22:34-40
The essence and fullness of the Old Testament and New Testament call on all of humanity is simple. It is to love God with all our heart, soul and muchness. Anything else is falling short of the glory of God, which we have all done but, thanks to Christ, not longer must continue in it.
Tethered To Our Returning Christ - James 5:7-8
Christ calls us and equips us to wait expectantly for his return and the Spirit will lead us forward into his mission and worship until he comes.
The Superior Life of Abiding - John 15:1-11
The life offered us in the Gospel is radically different. It is a new, moment by moment relationship with Christ where we actively live and interact with Him by the power of His Spirit through the Word and prayer. There alone is glory is given, joy found, love experienced and any true fruit is produced.
