All About Our LAB Series for 2024:
Jesus was a teacher that informed our desires and our loves, but He was also a teacher that informed our minds. How we think about God and our lives as Jesus-followers is one of the most important pieces to our formation and it is often overlooked. As Paul states in Ephesians, what keeps us from being “tossed back and forth by the waves,” or “blown here and there,” is being rooted in the “knowledge of the Son of God" [Eph 4:12-14].
These classes are designed to help us grow in relationship with God by having a healthy and deep understanding of the Bible. Each month, beginning in January, we will explore one of Durango Vineyard's Values:
BECOMING - We deeply desire to become authentic humans, functioning from the core of our IMAGO DEI (the image of God). Our pursuit of God is focused on daily being shaped by God toward this vision. We live this transformation intentionally, openly and honestly.
ROOTED - We believe in the future of our world and God’s active presence. We cling to this HOPE by being people who are rooted in the WORD of God and rooted in the active WORDS of God (His living presence). We are orthodox believers who hunger for the presence of God.
TENSION - We recognize that we live in a world with tension, and that each person has a unique story that makes up our church and community. We value approaching subjects and people with curiosity and humility.
INVITATION - Following Jesus’ model, we move towards people and invite them to experience God’s love and His kingdom. We recognize that the people who live around us need to be pursued, actively loved and not left to their own futures apart from the love of God.
THIRSTY - We abide in God’s love and pursue intimacy with Him above every other experience we might have. We long to know Him and experience His power: to transform us and live a full and vibrant life.
