Community Vision (Anniversary Party & Family Meeting)

“If you want to know what it looks like to love God and love neighbor, to look at Jesus, you keep your eyes on him. … And we'll talk about him in a moment. But this Jesus is the one who actually allows you to approach God with this a a boldness to call him daddy. … And what we get to call the Father is daddy because we are now coheirs with Christ, beloved sons, beloved daughters. This is part of that being fixed on Jesus. When we look at Jesus, we remember how to relate to God and someone who loves us, not someone who wants to punish us for what we did wrong. Someone who might from time to time have to tell us, hey, don't do that. Not because I want to get you, but because I love you so much. I don't want you to touch that hot stove and burn yourself. When you fix your eyes on Jesus, you start to see what he looks like.”
