Despite all our giftedness, autonomy, abilities and accomplishments, God is still God and we ain’t. So be prepared for the surprises!

God loved us even before we loved God This verse tells us how much God Loves us.

Phoniness is deadly when it comes to following Christ Jesus doesn’t want us to make a show of our faith.

Sin Doesn’t Start where we think it does. Sin doesn’t end where we think it does. The starting point of righteousness is living with the heart and mind of God.

The Law was given to bring us into relationship with God. A relationship with God helps us understand the purpose of the Law. Jesus fulfilled the law by giving us his Grace

Main Points: Baptism means leaving your old life behind Baptism means making our private faith public In Baptism Jesus identifies with those he came to save.

The Bethlehem Star reminds us that with Christ, Light has entered the world. Darkness is a symbol of sin and estrangement It is our task to take the light of Christ to those in darkness

God did not just take on human characteristics, God took on the human condition God can work in the toughest circumstances and the strangest places God’s ways can be trusted because God’s love has been tested.

Jesus is the hope of God’s presence with us. Jesus is the hope of new life in God Jesus is the hope of a new walk with God.

Jesus the Messiah will heal our separation from God Jesus the Messiah will heal our separation from each other.

Saying Thank you is a sign of character. Saying Thank you makes us better people. Saying Thank you keeps a channel of love open

Fear causes us to put our trust in things we can touch, see and own. The solution to fear is trust in God’s plan. Suffering is an opportunity to witness God’s truth.

Happiness does not consist of the pursuit of pleasure Happiness is not found in the avoidance of pain. Happiness is found in purposeful living Happiness is found in being people-oriented Happiness is found in a passion for God.

When we compare ourselves to others religion becomes a competition When we compare ourselves to God we realize we don’t have anything to offer God. If you don’t know grace, you don’t know God.

The Disciples thought their problem was a lack of faith Their problem was actually a lack of commitment. We Serve others because of the One who first served us.

Jesus is the Mirror Image of God Jesus has tasted death That means that we matter

We are responsible for one another. Judgment is a real part of the Gospel message We need a missions-consciousness both home and abroad

There is one God There is one mediator between God and Humans (Jesus Christ) We are called to focus on one world changing task We are called to be a funnel of God’s blessings
