How can we cultivate a delight in all that God is and in all he does? And those God calls to himself are called to be holy, righteous - distinct.

God’s mission in and through Christ is now our mission. How can we (and each of us) be a blessing to our communities?

What does God’s love of justice mean in practice in our everyday lives. How do we promote justice and fight injustice?

Our new identity in Christ means we are honoured sons with inheritance - instead of shamed. This is what we want for those we are reaching with the gospel.
