Emmanuel: God-With-Us and
Us-With-God
God is not Alenuel (God-Against-Us), Tachteynuel (God-Under-Us), or "Menuel" (God-Away-From-Us), but Emmanuel (God-With-Us), with us in Christ through every aspect of existence from birth to death. Because He is fully "God-With-Us," He secures our eternal hope and identity as "Us-With-God."

Our Choices Matter
Choose right now to live into the glorious light of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Stop in the Name of Love
Lent is about recognizing those things we do that break God's heart. And once we recognize them, it's about repentance, which leads to forgiveness; and that leads to reconciliation with God. And that's what we all want.
God’s Consumables
Give your life to the things that are worth it. Give it, and get used up for the sake of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the gospel, for the love of God, and for the love of neighbor.
Let the Ashes Sink In
Lent is a chance to develop rhythms of life that mold our hearts into holy temples, where God can make a home.
