Restoration in Christ prepares us for recommissioning
God is more interested in being glorified by your change of heart and willingness to sacrifice than He is in your accomplishments
God loves diversity and uniquely shapes individuals to glorify Him in special ways
Humbly relying on the free gift of Christ for salvation keeps us from covetousness in comparing our sacrifice to that of others

Jesus is resurrected...for real.
Jesus is the perfect friend.

Sermon Outline
Salvation in Christ expands God's worldwide kingdom even to the Gentiles
Salvation in Christ must be received humbly, undeservedly, and without entitlement
Salvation in Christ is accomplished according to the unique and specific details of the Word of God, and we must humbly trust that all the details of the atonement are required
Salvation in Christ bears much fruit in the life of those who know they are saved by grace.
