Description: Peter knew that he could not walk on water; his confidence to ‘get out of the boat’ was 100% based on the trustworthiness of Jesus. The same is true for us. We know that we don’t have what it takes to build the church and advance the kingdom in our own strength. We know that we are ‘in over…

Description: We believe that when we are weak, God is strong – and that his divine resources are available for us. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength! His grace is more than sufficient for us, and we delight in depending on him instead of ourselves. We courageously trust that through the prayers of God’s people…

Description: Put another way, it helps us shift from self-protection to vulnerability. We humbly confess our sins to God and to others. We refuse to let our ‘bones waste away’ under the weight of unconfessed sin. We choose not to hide our sin; instead, we acknowledge our failures and humbly ask forgiveness from those we have harmed, whether intentionally or…

Description: We embrace the mission Jesus has given us in obedience to his Word, and we trust that he will deliver us from all who threaten and oppose us. We refuse to compromise our loyalty to Christ, confident that he will defend us (and that even if he does not, he is still worthy of our wholehearted allegiance). We nurture…

Description: We rejoice in the privilege of sacrificing for the sake of others, that they might know the mystery of Christ, and we ‘strenuously contend’ that they might become fully mature in Him. We choose to love with actions, not just with words, laying down our lives for those in need just as Jesus did for us. We actively pursue…

Description: We embrace the attitude of Christ, who laid down his divine glory and made himself nothing to die on our behalf. We refuse to lord it over those we serve but instead pour ourselves out for their well-being. We aren’t greedy for money but are eager to bless others. We simply long for the goodness of Christ to be…

Description: With all our hearts we long for him! We are never lacking in zeal but always give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord. We intercede for our churches and our world like watchmen on the walls, refusing to rest or to give God rest until his people radiate his glory with absolute holiness and beauty so that…

Description: We refuse to be content with what we have already achieved; instead, we press on in pursuit of the fullness of life in Christ. His love burns in our hearts and compels us to be ambassadors who proclaim his gospel of reconciliation. It lights a fire in our souls to go to those places where few or none have…

Description: Because of our confidence in God’s wisdom and his divine empowerment, we can shift from working harder to working smarter. We don’t have to figure it out on our own or do it in our own strength – we just need to access the mind of Christ and do what he shows us! We need to walk in holy…

Description: When Goliath-sized challenges threaten us, it is easy to shrink back in fear and paralysis; however, we need to call to the Lord to show us ‘great and unsearchable things’ beyond our comprehension. He wants to lead us and empower us to experience supernatural breakthrough – to make a way when it seems there is no way. He bids…
