At the core of the Christian message lies the gospel, the good news of what Christ has done for sinners. The Gospel is the good news that, despite our sinful nature, God has provided a way for us to receive forgiveness through Jesus' finished work on the cross. As believers, our lives are forever transformed by this truth.

You are called to discipline your kids for the sake of making them disciples.
