What Christians Do: Hope
As Christians, we aren't given the choice to be hopeless people. The hope God gives us is a demanding one. It demands practice and discipline - faith that God abides even in the silence. Christian hope demands that we offer our neighbor a tangible sign of God's kingdom here and now, even when it costs us something.
What God Has Done: Consecration
From the beginning, God has set aside certain places, things, and people for his purposes. The idea of consecration endows human life with meaning and purpose - we are given a mission and goal. The church is where God's consecrated people collaborate to spread the Gospel in word and act.
Baptism into Christ
What do we believe is happening in Baptism? What is the role of the church? And how should we honor our Baptism in daily life? These questions and their practical implications are taken up in a lesson on scripture’s witness to Baptism in the Old and New Testaments.
