The Church has never been about collecting Christians that simply agree with Jesus’ teachings. We are supposed to be a force for good; for justice; for love. There are things Jesus commanded and commissioned us to do and he expects us to do them! We want to be a church that is intentionally living on mission.

In James Chapter 1, we find there are two types of religion (faith). The first is pure, authentic—the real deal. The second is a cheap counterfeit, or as James says, "worthless". We want to be the kind of church that lives out an authentic faith in obedience to the things Jesus has asked of us which includes caring for orphans and widows.
One of Jesus' favorite tools for explaining His mission was to teach using parables—short stories that packed as much punch as they did a point. In Matthew 13:45-46, Jesus teaches the parable of a man who sold everything he owned to possess a single pearl of surpassing value and beauty. The point, is that Jesus is the pearl. The punch, is that we must be willing to sell all we have to belong to Jesus, and for Jesus to belong to us. The question is, are we willing?
