Called to Rule Now & Forever
Every believer bears the image of God — not as a title reserved for the powerful, but as a calling given to all. Through Christ, we have been raised and seated with him, appointed as vice-regents over the everyday domains of work, family, and community. That reign has already begun.
Designed for Influence
God didn't place image bearers in creation as passive occupants. He commissioned them as cultivators — called to work, keep, and extend their influence across every sphere of life. This lesson explores the Genesis mandate behind that calling and shows leaders how to bring its transformative framework to the congregations entrusted to their care.

Good News About Good Friday
God was able to create the world out of nothing by just the power of his word. But God is not able to forgive you by just “deciding” to forgive you. You’ll never know the depth of God’s love for you until you first know the depth of God’s wrath poured out on Christ for you in the cross.

Re-imaging Your Work as Worship: Faith & Work Series Part 2
