An Ordinary Life
God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, our Savior and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit are more than religious concepts we learn about and share with others. We are invited into an intimate relationship with the Trinity that comes alive in every moment of our ordinary lives. Just as Jesus made God visible by becoming incarnate, we can live our lives incarnationally today; experiencing and making the invisible, visible.

We also can be God’s representatives to a world longing for the shalom of the Kingdom of God. How we live and engage with the world helps bring the good news of Jesus more visibly to others. Our discipleship is so much more than a learning and activity centric exercise. It is a moment by moment, day by day immersion into the endless love of our Father and living out our lives as an expression of that love.
