The Gospel in Thirty Words
Jesus is GOD WITH US,
come to SHOW US God’s love,
SAVE US from sin,
SET UP God’s kingdom,
and SHUT DOWN religion,
so we canSHARE IN God’s life.

Jesus came to kill religion before it kills you.
Steve Harms

Religion is any system of belief, behavior, and belonging that we put between us and God.

Religion is belief turned into a burden.
Religion is behavior turned into control.
Religion is belonging turned into exclusion.

FIRST
SIGN
GLORY

Jesus takes the very symbols of a heavy religious system and turns them into a party. Grace replaces guilt. Joy replaces burden. Freedom replaces fear.

If you wanted to have a good party, you made sure you invited Jesus.
