Everything in the universe is created in the shape of God. Every biological and cosmological element exists in relationship to God and others. It is a great mystery how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit live in communal relationship with one another. Life and all of creation has been given, leaving no one being in charge since God is in trinity - God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Everything is to be in community and in service one to another. The appearing of God in the flesh in the life of Jesus changes our view of the world. God is not an old man in the sky waiting to bring about wrath on all of creation. As seen in Jesus, sin and death have been defeated. God is loving and gives grace, forgiveness, and life. The gift of the Holy Spirit indwelling changes our view of life with God. God is alive in us, in relationship with us, and for us to be in relationship with God and others. God is for us, for us to be for others, in community. There is power in the mystery of the relationship we share with God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, and the church.

The good news is that everything and everyone belongs to this community. God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness." (Gen. 1:26) By faith, believe in God as creator and king over all creation. By confession, declare Jesus as Lord and Savior over all creation. Through baptism, receive the Holy Spirit as God in us as counselor and friend. Through salvation, be forgiven by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. Through church, live as God's image bearer in relationship with, to, and for others. Through service, be on mission to share in the ministry of God led by the Holy Spirit to make God known and reconciling all the world to God through Jesus.

If you would like to know more about belonging to Christ and the Lord's church, please talk with myself or one of our elders. We are blessed to have you with us today.
