New Life
God has rescued us and given us new life in Christ —
A new heart. A new spirit.
A new citizenship. A new family.
A new Sovereign and Father.
A new identity and culture.
Together, we are learning to walk in this newness of life.
People like us —
Exchange life with God.
Exchange life with one another.
Honor the identity God has given me, us, and every person.
Live in the patterns of God's kingdom.
Work for good in the world.
Make new disciples of Jesus.
Let this become our lived experience —
God is great. God is good. And God is near.
We are trustworthy stewards of the many forms of God's grace.
We are God's treasured possession and we live Jesus-like lives.
We so love the world that we give our first and our best.
Our everyday story is for God's glory.
