When Jesus speaks about his ministry, He says that his goal is to give people abundant life.

This plan was inspired by a song entitled ‘The Dove’. It considers Scriptures from across the Bible, touching on Eden, Noah, Jesus and Pentecost. As we spend some days together considering the dove thematically, this plan gives some theology around the Trinity, especially considering the Creative work of the Holy Spirit, and wrestles with themes of Judgement, New Creation, sin, and grace. As we consider Pentecost, this plan gives a more robust understanding around the power and wonder of the creative work of the Spirit. If you're up for some meat, let's go.

God’s relentless love is the life-blood of his mission. This love was most remarkably displayed in the culmination of his grand salvation plan: sending his very own Son to live and minister on earth, finally dying a sinner’s death on the cross, that we might be redeemed by our faith in him and raised with him in his resurrection. Such perfect love demands a response—we love because God first loved us.
