Discipleship is not an optional "add on" to the Christian life; rather, it is at the heart of what Jesus meant by "losing our life in order to save it."

Jesus went about proclaiming and demonstrating the "good news of the Kingdom of God"--that there is freedom from the power of sin and release from spiritual captivity right now in Jesus' name!

Repentance is the Biblical language of revival--it is a weapon that breaks the chains of spiritual bondage and oppression and sets us free!

Jesus has the ability to set the oppressed free because he has supreme power and authority over all other powers, thrones, and dominions in heaven and on earth.

Jesus has come to bring freedom, not for the worthy, but for the hungry!

The Biblical understanding of "salvation" includes not just the hope of eternal life, but also a freedom from spiritual slavery right now!

Christ has won a victory over the Enemy; therefore, in Christ, we can stand firm against the Enemy's attacks and live in spiritual freedom!

Behind the sin and brokenness in our world is a spiritual Adversary who is seeking to steal, kill, and destroy.

Becoming a Christian is defined not by a "religious system" to follow but by entering a relationship with the Living God that will transform our lives!

Repentance (metanoia) is an intentional decision to "change" my thinking and behavior as the Holy Spirit empowers me to do so.
