7 biblical lenses

We’ve developed seven biblical lenses to help you see and savor the living word of God by understanding more clearly the written word of God.

Traditional approaches to redemption collapse the first and second coming.

This future hope of Yeshua’s return can be an anchor to your soul (Hebrews 6:19) in navigating stress, enduring suffering, and responding to Jesus who speaks, “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

God’s incarnation in Jesus was so you could incarnate God’s love to others by pursuing RELATIONAL DEPTH —with God and others—for KINGDOM BREADTH!
