Essential pillars

What we stand on

God is good.

Because God is good, we live with the joyful and confident expectation of good things happening in all we do. God is always good and He never changes.

“You are good, and what You do is good.”Psalm 119:68

We are victorious.

Because of the triumph of the cross, we have everything we need to live victoriously and free. Our past experience does not define us, our present circumstances are under the influence of King Jesus and our future is full of hope!

“But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.”2 Corinthians 2:14

All things are possible.

Because we put no limits on what God can do in and through us, our lives are marked by dreaming big, the miraculous and risk taking.

“And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”Matthew 19:26

We are significant.

Because we are treasured sons and daughters of God, purchased by the blood of His Son, we have a mandate to represent Him well through love and service.

“And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.”Galatians 4:6-7
