God has lavished his love on us by calling us the sons and daughters of God. He did not do this just so that we would bury the blessing. As a new humanity, we are called to the same purpose as Adam and Eve, to be fruitful, fill the earth, and bring in God's Kingdom.

Jesus sitting triumphantly at the right hand of God... once-for-all atonement... access to the throne of God... the very presence of God dwelling within us... the temple re-built as the church...

Stephens Community Block Party
We had a great time at the block party last Saturday!
The block party materials came from the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. Tracy Archibald drove it all the way from Paragould (and had to get back that night to preach on Sunday!).
We couldn't have done it without the support of other Stephens churches: St. Stephens, ACTS church, New Home AME, New Zion Hill, Mt. Zinia Baptist, Stephens UMC, and Rolling Hills Assembly all contributed with money, volunteers, and support.
It was a great day. Enjoy the pictures (courtesy of ACTS church)...

The Story of the Kingdom of God: Departure
