Romans 15:13
May the God of hope full you with all jioy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Joy is not a side effect of normal living at the pace we are living in this world. Peace is not a natural reaction to the chaos that is everywhere around us. These values are both cultivated and given through fellowship with God. The more time we spend in his presence, the more peace and joy become a part of the fabric of our beings. We learn what it is to walk in love with hope in our vision.

Alive in Mercy

We were created by God for much more than survival. Life is meant to be full of connection and growth. Where we lack, God fills us. He is the source of everything we need to thrive in this existence. In God’s life we were made alive. His presence in us is what empowers us to love others as he loves us.
