Our Vocation: Ministry

The Big Idea: My calling from God is lived out through who I am, whose I am, and how I love.
1 Peter 2:1-10

Jesus Introduced a New Model for Life with God:

TEMPLE Model: Sacred places, Sacred texts, Sacred men, Sacred sacrifices.

JESUS Model: New covenant. New command. New ethic. New movement.
