As dearly loved children, we walk in the way of Christ’s self-giving love.

God gives us a new identity in Christ and renews us to live in the righteousness and holiness he creates.

Christian maturity is growing together towards Christ as each member serves the body in love.

Mature faith trusts God’s wisdom without claiming to know what he has not revealed, and meets sufferers with Christlike compassion.

God matures his people as his Spirit strengthens them to know Christ’s love and live under his loving rule.

In Christ, those once outside are made members of God’s household, and together we become his dwelling by the Spirit.

Following Jesus means surrendering self-rule; the life we entrust to him is the life we truly find.

Jesus must suffer and rise to save his people; his disciples follow him by trusting God’s way rather than grasping for power or comfort.

The Lord gives purpose to our labour and security to our lives, so we can work diligently without carrying the burden of being in control.

Jesus is the Messiah, and he promises to build his church as a people who belong to him.
