DNA #1 - Leading People to Follow Jesus
When it comes to our bodies, each of us has a unique blueprint called DNA. Churches are the same. Our blueprint is found in our core beliefs, mission and values. In this series, called DNA, we will unpack who we are as a church. If you're new, thinking about joining, or have been with us for awhile and need a reminder, this series is for you!

Cynical Hope: Peace
If hope is to found with God at the center of our lives, we must look at barriers which keep us separated from him. We must find peace with God which leads to a deepening hope based upon the unchanging goodness of God in the gospel.

Incarnation: James 2:15-17
Words are cheap. People of faith must be people of action, involving ourselves in the lives of others.

Sons and Heirs
The gospel brings us a new status- that of sons. Like the Galatians, we can slip back into living like slaves. But the Father sent His Son to redeem us that we might receive adoption as sons, and the Spirit to experience this status subjectively.

Invitation to Incarnation
Philippians 2:5-11 (New International Version) 5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

God with us (Matthew 1:22-25)
Jesus Christ is utterly unique. He is the Name above all names. He alone is the God-Man. This is, in theology, known as the “hypostatic union,†which simply states that Jesus Christ is One Person with two distinct natures, One fully God, one fully human residing together in the one Person of Jesus Christ unmixed, unconfused, and undivided. 100% God & 100% Man, in the one Person of Jesus Christ, who from the point of the virgin conception and birth exist eternally as the God-Man. This is a mystery that exceeds the capacity of our minds to fully grasp. So here we enter into Matthew’s purpose: To establish Jesus Christ as the God-Man who came to Save (His people from their sins), Fulfill (OT prophecy), and Reveal (God to men).
