On Sunday we began a new series called Join The Family. This vision series is designed to show why we do what we do at Saints’ Hill and where we’re headed. Our goal for this series is that every person would find both the mission for their life and the energy for it, in the presence of God. - In order to get into the specifics, we first need to lay a foundation of agreement on what this life is. We believe that God is relationship, and that everything He made is a relational invitation to Him. Creation, our physical world, is designed to tell the truth about God. Creation was distorted by a break of relationship, and can only be recaptured by a healing of that relationship. This is what the entire story of the Bible is about. God has created every human with a purpose, and a specific role to play in the renewal of the world. When we get in God’s presence we see Him rightly. When we see Him rightly we respond rightly, choosing to die to ourselves so that we can walk in the works He has prepared for us.
