“We knowers

Why it is that of all
the billions and
billions of strange
objects in the
cosmos—novas,
quasars, pulsars,
black holes—

Because of the Fall,
our basic orientation is
a falling away from God.

We welcome all who are
broken and need healing.

We enter the Story
that Jesus is telling.

“Your real, new self…
will not come as long as
you are looking for it. It
will come when you are
looking for Him.”

“Our orientation toward
greed, work, pride, porn,

passions of your former
ignorance, but as he who

sojourners and exiles to
abstain from the
passions of the flesh,
which wage war against
your soul....

We contend that Jesus is
better and always worth it

More than all riches Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
 
Our souls declaring Jesus is better

Glory, glory!
We have no other king
but Jesus Lord of all.
