Anchor verse:

“We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.”
Romans 8:28

central message:

God never calls us to complacency - to stay in our comfort zones. He calls us to live a life worthy of the calling we have received. A life that is deeply rooted in His love, revealing the life of Jesus in and through our very own life.

God desires for us to draw closer to Him. Thus, He regularly uses events and circumstances, our very own realities, both good and bad, in our lives to call our attention, to encounter us and for us to encounter Him. It is He who initiates this encounter. He does it to purify, to prune, and to redirect us to His plan and will. This redirection is an invitation to see beyond ourselves, beyond our comfort, and lead us to greater intimacy with Him. Furthermore, it is a call to view things form His perspective and to actively participate in His mission.
