We are praying that this year brings a new deep-rooted reality for us as a church and as individuals. This reality forces us to change the way we respond to Christ's call to Know, Live and Build the gospel. It is imperative that we grapple with the mysterious truth conveyed by this statement: “Jesus died, he get’s it all.” The beautiful reality that Jesus' sacrificial death on the Cross saved us, and that we no longer bear the penalty of our sins, is a HUGE FREAKIN DEAL. We want to drive this home! We have to be a people who know that the only adequate response to Jesus' death, his saving grace, is to give him our whole lives, every part, and shout these words: “DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH ME!” We need to realize that we were bought with a price; we are slaves to Christ for his glory, and the sake of the kingdom.

We hope to accomplish this twofold:
- Prayer. The reality is, owning this is a supernatural act. God has to move in hearts to see this happen. So we’re praying for that end.
- Teaching. We’ll spend energy and effort constantly teaching and reminding the folks in our church, that Jesus died, so he gets it all.
