Jesus is the bedrock of Christianity. He is both the criterion and the conclusion of all things!

For he never stops seeking to save… | Romans 4:4

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. | Romans 8:26-27, ESV

"Romans is ‘The principal and most excellent part of the New Testament, and a light and a way in unto the whole Scripture’." | William Tyndale

The Lord is my shepherd; I have ALL that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to His name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. | PSALM 23

In the Bible we find the framework for thinking about movement where it restores us to a place of seeing our bodies as a gift from God that we’re to steward, but not as an idol that we’re ultimately trying to find our identity in!

The Gospel of Jesus comes with a Path and a Promise. The promise isn’t just Jesus, it is what Jesus can give to us: peace, freedom and love. That is what we get with Jesus. We get freedom from our shame and regret, we get peace in our deepest being and we get to relax into the unconditional love of the creator of the universe.

We were made for relationship with God and with others. We can replace our relational toxic tendencies with fruitful habits that foster relational health.

Our love for speed and our obsession with getting more and achieving more has led us into a way of living completely at odds and out of alignment with kingdom rhythms!

It’s not about what you have done… it’s about what Jesus has done for you! It’s not about what you have said… it’s about what Jesus has said about you! It’s not about what you regret… it’s about what Jesus has redeemed!

Good boundaries provide the best freedoms!

“Original sin is the only Christian doctrine that is empirically verifiable…” —G.K. Chesterton

Through Jesus, we have peace with God. In Jesus, we are welcomed into Grace. Because of Jesus, we rejoice in the hope of Glory!

God's promises start with faith, rest on grace, are in His timing and offer freedom!

Justification is by grace, redemption is through Jesus and atonement is purchased with blood.

And in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice. - GENESIS 22:18
