“TURNING HEARTS TO JESUS AND GROWING INTO HIS LIKENESS”


Turning our hearts to Jesus

First and foremost, we want to turn our hearts, mind, and full attention to the Lord. We want to wholeheartedly love Him, freely worship Him, and experience close, intimate relationship with Him. Our life and identity come from Him and Him alone.

Theme: Something has to happen to you before it can happen through you.

John 15:5 - “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”


Growing into His likeness

God intended us to be made in His image and all that this implies. The best possible life we can live is only found by following Jesus and allowing the Spirit to transform us into His likeness.

Theme: Be like Christ.

Galatians 2:20 - “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”


Turning others’ hearts to Jesus

As Christ takes hold of our lives, He wants us to represent Him to the world. He wants us to be His hands, feet, eyes, ears, and mouth to a world that needs to experience His love, His life, His goodness, and His grace. True life is only found in Jesus.

Theme: Being Christ to the world.

John 20:21 - Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
