Faith
According to Hebrews, Faith is the "reality of what we hope for." How can we experience the reality of what isn't real yet? A life of faith is grounded in the resurrection of Jesus, who Paul calls the "first fruits" of those who will be raised. Faith is living now as if God's promises are already true.
From Series: "Elemental"
Elements are the basic building blocks of life. Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon - the simplest substances that combine to form everything that makes living possible. What are the basic elements of the life Jesus calls "truly life"? In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul tells us that only three things last forever - Faith, Hope and Love. What are they? And how do they combine to create our life?

Jesus’ resurrection wasn’t the end of the story; it was the beginning of God’s new creation. The Resurrection is God’s first step toward reclaiming creation, and we get to be a part of it. By choosing to follow Jesus, we leave the old reality dominated by sin and death and step into God’s kingdom, where we find life. This new life has already begun. And yet we’re also still waiting, because God’s kingdom has not yet come in full. How do we live in the tension between the Already and the Not Yet?
