Here Now & Not Yet ?

We must be careful we don't overdo the "now" and dial down the "not-yet"

" Equally, we live in a reality of hope, joy and new life. We recognise that in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the world has been both turned around 180% and put the right way up. Jesus is Lord of the universe now. It's a receiving a hundred times as much in this present age reality. It's a world where individuals, families communities and whole cultures can be transformed by the "good news."

We must be careful that we don't overdo the " Not Yet " and dial down the "Now"

"We have been renewed, restored and re-tasked to take up the God-glorifying culture-building that we were created for." After all, how will other people be part of the new creation except by hearing the gospel (Good News) message.

 Given the devastating effects of sin and the reality of hell.

The call to repentance and faith in Christ remains at the centre of our mission. but in a way which is connected to our cultural calling.
