1. We assert, we herald, the truth about God becoming King of the world in and through Jesus of Nazareth alone. It is our public announcement.
  2. Rejoice with Mary as she would rejoice with you. Be blessed, like her, with humility from God, so that you may serve joyfully and willingly wherever and in whatever role God has placed you.
  3. God is not calling us to “grow up.” He is calling us to dependence.
  4. Through water, blood, and word, the Spirit never stops pointing us to Christ, and even more, giving us Christ.
  5. The good news is that with our God there is always more: more than we deserve, dare, ask, or expect, more than we can see, hear, feel, or think.
  6. The reason that God’s commandments are not burdensome is that Jesus has fulfilled them.
  7. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  8. The love mentioned in 1 John 4:15-21 fourteen times (!) is a love that needs no apology but is determined at all times to sacrifice for the other.
  9. We can appreciate what we have received from God, we can receive it all as free gift, but only when we stop investing in fool's gold.
  10. We need to hear the gospel because it is good news that is not from you, or about you, or because of you.
