Jesus disrupts...and restores!
God is a communicating, speaking, presently working God, inviting us and involving us for breakthroughs of his love into the people around us.
To be Spirit-filled followers of Jesus means radical obedience and self-abandoned love for all others.
The disciples of Jesus continue the presence of the character of Jesus as the ultimate sign of hope for our broken world.
The invitation to turn THIS way. Become a follower of the Way.
