City on a Hill: Surf Coast

When we forget God, we are prone to forsake him. It is God's faithfulness in the past that fuels our courage for the future. Yet, we live in the tension of the now and the not yet, the promise given and the promise received. The road ahead will get difficult, but it is to be marked by obedience to God. Instead of dwelling in the land of fear and shame, we embrace God's grace and our identity as children of God. If we are to live as God's children, we must be courageous. We cannot stand with apathy and indifference when we witness evil in this world, but instead of fighting evil with evil, we fight with love, and we herald the good news of the death and resurrection of Jesus, trusting that if God can break down the walls of Jericho he can break down the walls of any human heart.
