Disciple:
"One who sits at the feet of their Lord"
Passionate: "With a burning
heart."
To
embrace God's life and love and
develop
a community of mercy and grace!
"Agape"
is the Greek word for God's love. God's love is an amazing love
that
defines who God is (1 John. 4:8) and what He does.
GOD'S
LOVE IS THE BEATIFUL MOSAIC FOUNDATION OF HIS CHURCH - (Mat.22:36-40)
It's a mosaic because in His creation there is great beauty and diversity.
We receive this love of His (Agape) at salvation, but it is only when we
grow in Him and start to understand his love that we mature as his children.
Part
of our vision is to grow as individuals and grow as a community
of
believers. Each of us has heart issues that only God can heal but He often
chooses to use human instruments in that healing process. These are people
we live in relation with, people who we are accountable to, and living transparently
with. In our "western" way of living, transparency, which requires
trust, is very difficult. But God in His mercy and grace walks with us,
leading us into relationships that build true community. It's a slow process
but well worth the effort.
Our
door is open to everyone. Every human being has great intrinsic
value.
So much value that God paid the ultimate price to redeem us.
