Jesus came to save you by giving his life as a ransom for your sins and to call you to imitate him in suffering service. Is that what you want him to do for you?

Jesus tells us the first will be last and the last first. He not only taught this, but modeled it, by becoming a human to save humans. He calls us to follow his example.

Who does my body belong to? What is the point of my sexuality? How we answer these two questions will determine our sexual ethic. Jesus gives us a radically counter-cultural answer to them, and in doing so, gives us not a sexual revolution, but a sexual reformation.

As we persevere in following Jesus, God will make us into mature disciples and a united community with a powerful and effective witness to the world around us.

The solution to our suffering is not in this world, but in Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection defeated the agents of human suffering and secured a future free of suffering for all who trust in him.

We are invited to behold Jesus, and in beholding, to become like him.

Jesus gives us a choice: We can pursue the life of the world at the price of our own soul, or we can abandon the life of the world, follow Christ, and gain the only life that is truly worth living.

True vision leads to true discipleship. Once we see Jesus rightly—as the serving, suffering, sacrificial King—we’ll be ready to get up and follow him on the way of discipleship.

Human beings aren't morally neutral in need of behavior modification; we are, at our core, corrupt, in need of a new heart.
