Like a beautiful sunrise, “RENAISSANCE” is the colorful change that moves one from darkness to light.  The “re” in “RENAISSANCE” focuses upon the “return” to something, and in this case it is “naissance” which means “birth”. 

We DREAM of a generation returning to “BIRTH” . . . “reBIRTH”.  Allowing the JESUS EXPERIENCE to create their individual and communal BEING.   Too often the JESUS offered only has something for their future destination.  “Do you want to get to heaven?  Sometimes a the JESUS offered is surrounded by rules concerning their present DOING or in most cases their NOT DOING!

This reBIRTH is about a daily JESUS EXPERIENCE that ignites BEING.  Knowing who I am as embraced by the great “I AM”

Jesus becomes the center for life, all life.  It is no longer a personal thing, it is public . . . a reality and SUPPORTED by COMMUNITY.

This COMMUNITY chooses to live as one in a real world, surrounded by all the good and evil of HUMANITY.  They do not run away, but run together, to SERVE ALL HUMANITY.  In the world, in JESUS, and in COMMUNITY.

As the NEX-GEN SERVES all HUMANITY, SUPPORTED by COMMUNITY within their JESUS EXPERIENCED BEING they discover their IDENTITY.  One can only find their life defined within a STORY larger than their own.  An active role in God’s greater STORY finds one to have their own STORY.

This IDENTITY in JESUS, in COMMUNITY, and in HUMANITY breathes the continuing STORY of BEING . . . the “I”.  What “I” believe - FAITH, what “I” expect - HOPE & what “I” desire - LOVE.

•Look over the DREAM and ask yourself if you desire to be part of the RENAISSANCE.

•Examine your JESUS EXPERIENCE and your BEING, where does you “I am” come from? 

•Look at your COMMUNITY.  Do you have a place to belong?  Who SUPPORTS you? 

•Do you actively attempt to SERVE all HUMANITY as opportunities arise?
