The world we live gives us empty promises of control, safety, and comfort, but to follow Jesus is to embrace the risk of leaving our city walls and embracing the path of sacrifice, humility, & radical love that Jesus himself journeyed to the cross on our behalf.

    The Bible reveals a radical way of doing relationship:  not as transactional contract but as relational covenant! God leads by example by providing a sacred, enduring promise of love that doesn't expire when we fail.
