The Elements

Jesus is our model for life and spirituality, and Jesus’ character and actions can be distilled into four core elements that express the teaching of the entire Bible. We live these elements and we look like Jesus.

The Old Testament teaches these things. Jesus taught these things. Jesus lived these things.

The Bible expresses them in metaphor, command, and values.

Expressed as Values, they are: Put God First, Love Community, Grow in Maturity, and Serve in Ministry.

Expressed in metaphor, they are The Elements. In this series, we will address them one by one.
