We exist to lead people into a new life of FREEDOM in Jesus.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.\\xa0Stand firm,\\xa0then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 (NIV)

But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much,\\xa0that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God\\u2019s grace that you have been saved!)\\xa0Ephesians 2:4-7 (NLT)

For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7 (NLT)

So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7 (NLT)

Our freedom, designed by heaven, has a divine purpose for this earth.

1. Worship

Therefore, rid yourselves\\xa0of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander\\xa0of every kind.\\xa0Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk,\\xa0so that by it you may grow up\\xa0in your salvation,\\xa0now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. 1 Peter 2:1-10 (NIV)

As you come to him, the living Stone\\u2014rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him\\u2014\\xa0you also, like living stones, are being built\\xa0into a spiritual house\\xa0to be a holy priesthood,\\xa0offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ\\u2026 1 Peter 2:1-10 (NIV)

But you are a chosen people,\\xa0a royal priesthood,\\xa0a holy nation,\\xa0God\\u2019s special possession,\\xa0that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.\\xa0Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God;\\xa0once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:1-10 (NIV)

I pray we never become people who expect God\\u2019s UNCONDITIONAL love and grace, while ascribing to Him CONDITIONAL worth.

2. Relationships

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.\\xa0But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh;\\xa0rather, serve one another\\xa0humbly in love.\\xa0Galatians 5:13-14 (NIV)

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: \\u201cLove your neighbor as yourself.\\u201d Galatians 5:13-14 (NIV)

Though I am free\\xa0and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 1 Corinthians 9:19 (NIV)

We exist to lead PEOPLE into a new life of FREEDOM in Jesus.

If we don\\u2019t love PEOPLE, we can\\u2019t LEAD people.\\xa0

3. Purpose

For we are God\\u2019s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

Because of the privilege and authority\\xa0God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don\\u2019t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Romans 12:3-6 (NLT)

Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ\\u2019s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well\\u2026 Romans 12:3-6 (NLT)

Don\'t let the absence of SPECIFICS prevent you from experiencing what\'s AVAILABLE.

Purpose is revealed in pieces\\u2026 and each piece is discovered by faithfulness.

4. Ministry

Our ultimate purpose in this life and ultimate fulfillment\\u2026 will always be tied to the mission of Jesus.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,\\xa0the new creation\\xa0has come:\\xa0The old has gone, the new is here!\\xa02 Corinthians 5:17-21(NIV)

All this is from God,\\xa0who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:\\xa0that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people\\u2019s sins against them.\\xa0And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.\\xa02 Corinthians 5:17-21(NIV)

We are therefore Christ\\u2019s ambassadors,\\xa0as though God were making his appeal through us.\\xa0We implore you on Christ\\u2019s behalf: Be reconciled to God.\\xa02 Corinthians 5:17-21(NIV)

God made him who had no sin\\xa0to be sin\\xa0for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21(NIV)

\\u201cThe Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news\\xa0to the poor. Luke 4:18-19 (NIV)
