RISING UP TOGETHER

IN CHRIST

Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you 

- Isaiah 60:1

Let's rise up and shine together!

God the Father has already swept us up into Himself through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.


We are completely new creations in Him. 


The issue, now, is our increasing awareness and experience of this glorious truth!


"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

(2 Corinthians 5:17)


On the cross, Jesus destroyed all traces of sin and separateness, and He made us one with God and with each other.

Separation is an illusion!


However, it is our conscious awareness of this truth that causes it to ignite within our hearts

and to make a difference in and through our lives.


The path into conscious union is through intimacy with Jesus and with His Word, as recorded in the Bible.

We can choose to step into all that He has provided for us through the enabling grace of Holy Spirit.


The foundation is devotion to Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit, combined with honour and love for each other.


Every single child of God is unique, irreplaceable and deeply, deeply loved!
